An example, if there was a paper posted on a bulletin board (告示栏), and you were asked to “Move it”, you would simply relocate it to a different spot on the board. If you were asked to “Remove it”, you would take it off the board completely.
Example:
I moved the file from folder A to folder B on the computer.
我操作电脑把那个文件从文件夹A挪到了文件夹B。
