Is it guaranteed that Directory.Move only renames and not copy/delete as long as it is on the same logical drive?
In fact
Directory.Movefails if you attempt to move a directory to a different volume. If you want to perform such a move you have to do the Copy/Delete yourself. I think you can safely assume thatDirectory.Movewill only ever succeed if the operation can be performed without copying files.
