Is there a way to move items or folders around in a SharePoint 2010 list? It has to be in SharePoint List, I have a single list, with multiple folders and items within those folders. Can I move an item to a different folder within that list without being required to delete the items and/or folder and manually recreate the item/folder in the new desired location? My Requirement is to move a new item to a folder automatically on save if it is not created in the folder specified.

Did you try Open with explorer option? You can move docs and folders with that option– DaniloCommented Aug 25, 2016 at 13:18

What i want is to do it as and when document is saved. I do not want to transfer it manually myself Like say there is a folder named 2016 in the list Client. So someone clicking directly on "Add new Item" will get the form to fill details and document be saved. I want to do is on save check if the document is being saved inside folder or not, if not run a script or so and send it to folder, if yes then let it get saved in respective folder. Please note the folders are named based on years, so i have 2016,2015, so on.– Shashank VermaCommented Aug 26, 2016 at 9:27

You can use Site Content and Structure Manager in SharePoint to move items between the lists. See How to Use the Site Content and Structure Manager in SharePoint 2013 for more information
Update
The update is based on the comment. If you want to automatically move the items, then you can either write an event handler (itemadded) or you may use workflows.

@ShashankVerma, see my updated answer. The functionality you are looking for is not available out of the box. you need to do coding for this. Commented Aug 26, 2016 at 10:03

Thanks for the update @Nadeem, what i was able to get from little googling any workflow will create the document, then update in the folder and delete the previous created record. I use Nintex for workflow, if possible please help if this is the only solution or can we do something else using workflows. Commented Aug 26, 2016 at 14:54
