SPO moving folders doesn't prompt replace

Question

I'd like to move a whole load of folders (which are in the wrong folder hierarchy) to another location within the same library. Unfortunately these folders already exist in the target location, but that's ok as I really want to 'merge' the folders together including all their documents and subfolders. When I attempt to do this for the folders that already exist in the target I'm getting prompted with 'Keep Both' and not with any replace option? I don't want to keep both -

Dear Chris Bolton1,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft community. We are delighted to offer our assistance.

If you choose Keep Both, one of the folders will be renamed automatically like Folder(1). You need to move the files in Folder(1) to Folder manually and then delete Folder(1).

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! Have a great day.

Click on Keep both and then delete the old one
