Windows.Storage.StorageFolder

July 15, 2020 ยท View on GitHub

-description

Manages folders and their contents and provides information about them.

-remarks

Typically you get StorageFolder objects as the return value of asynchronous method calls. For example, the static method GetFolderFromPathAsync returns a StorageFolder that represents the specified folder.

Note that when you call a file picker to let the user pick a folder, the file picker returns the folder as a StorageFolder.

There is not currently a "MoveAsync" or similar method. One simple implementation of moving a folder might be to get the desired folder, copy it to the desired location, and then delete the original folder.
