# Move / rename folder
Move / rename folder is a versatile action used to move an entire folder (including all files and subfolders inside) to a new location, or to rename that folder right at its current location on the hard drive.
Similar to operations with files, this action will cut the folder to the new location (if moving) or completely replace the old name (if renaming).

#### Configuration parameters:
* Source Folder: The absolute path of the source folder that needs to be moved or renamed (e.g., `D:\GPM_Data\old_name`).
* Destination Folder: The absolute path of the destination folder to move to, or the path containing the new folder name after renaming (e.g., `E:\Backup_Data\old_name` or `D:\GPM_Data\new_name`).
#### Practical example 1: Rename folder
You have a folder containing temporary data named `temp_data`. After the script has processed all the data inside, you want to rename this folder to `processed_data` to mark it as completed.
* Source Folder: `D:\GPM_Data\temp_data`
* Destination Folder: `D:\GPM_Data\processed_data` *(keep the parent path, only change the folder name at the end)*.
* Result: The folder `temp_data` will be immediately renamed to `processed_data`.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.gpmautomate.com/automate-en/action-guide/file-and-folder/move-rename-folder.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
