Move File Geodatabase in ArcPy

[NathanHeickLACSD]

Is there a proper way to move a file geodatabase from one folder to another in ArcPy using ArcGIS Pro and Python 3.7?  If I use arcpy.management.Rename, I get an error saying the workspace already exists.  Changing the folder only works if the name of the geodatabase also changes.  I can also use Copy and Delete, but moving a file geodatabase seems like a fundamental operation that you should be able to do in ArcPy.  Also, the documentation is not very clear about file geodatabases, it talks more about feature classes.

What if you just did it straight python; zip it, move it, and unzip it?

I thought of that, but I read too many posts recommending to use the software over manually doing it.  Realistically, I do that all the time, so I shouldn't worry about it.  I was just wondering if I was missing something in the software.

Technical support got back to me.  They said using Rename to move a file geodatabase is not supported.  I should use Copy and Delete.
