But there are no documentation how to make Move of the folder.

Are there any documentation how VM folder can be moved to another location?

I think the documentation is wrong there. It doesn't look like the module implements this, there's not even a parameter for a new name / parent folder.

Maybe you could do this with the vmware_object_rename module, but I'm not sure. Might be worth a try, though.

BTW do you know we've started a forum this year? You can post questions like this there in the Get Help category and tag it with vmware. There might be more people to have a look and provide solutions or at least a workaround.

Not to put too fine a point on this (this isn't a problem with ansible-core 2.13) but this version is EOL and we don't support it anymore in community.vmware 4.x.
