Can't move my Documents folder.

I've been trying to free up some disk space recently and start moving my folders to my D drive.

I've already disabled Onedrive so I moved Desktop, Downloads, Music and Videos. When I tried to move Documents and Pictures however, an error message appeared saying: "Can't move the folder because there is a folder in the same location that can't be redirected. Access is denied".

I looked and I found a Documents folder and a Pictures folder and decided to delete them but I still get the same error message.

Can anyone help with this?
