Due to a issue with Safari crashing I had to perform an Archive & Install OS repair. I recovered my user account from Time Machine but there isn't enough space or time to download all the pictures, movies and installers. So I figured I'd just move them from the old account folder. Only the finder wanted to copy the folders not move them. It would move the files. So I wrote an AppleScript script to force it to move the folders. Remember this is only for moving folders on the same partition.
on run tell application "Finder" set theSource to choose folder with prompt "Source" set theDestination to choose folder with prompt "Destination" move items of theSource to theDestination end tell end run
