into `dest:path` then delete the original (if no errors on copy) in
`source:path`.
Note that the destination is always a directory. If the path
does not exist, it will be created as a directory and the contents of
the source will be moved into it. This is the case even if the source
path points to a file. If you want to move a single file to a different
name you must use [moveto](commands/rclone_moveto/) instead.
For example, given the command:
rclone move source:sourcepath/one.txt dest:destpath/one.txt
Rclone will create a directory `dest:destpath/one.txt` and put the source file in there:
dest:destpath/one.txt/one.txt
Not move the single source file into the given destination path,
which would be the result if moveto had been used instead:
dest:destpath/one.txt
If you want to delete empty source directories after move, use the --delete-empty-src-dirs flag.
