Files disappearing when trying to use movefile

I am sure this is just a simple syntax error, but I am trying to move files from the current folder to a subfolder called 'Used' within the current folder.

I thought that the following line would work:

movefile('filename.mat', '../Used');

While this does not produce an error message, it permanently deletes the file in question.

I've tried different ways of referencing the 'Used' folder, but they all give me an error message about the file/directory not existing.

What am I doing wrong?

If you want to move filename.mat from folder1 to folder2

folder1='C:\Users\malek\Documents\path1'
folder2='C:\Users\malek\Documents\path2'
movefile(fullfile(folder1,'filename.mat'),fullfile(folder2,'filename.mat'))
