[BUG] `npm audit fix --force` not properly moving directories

[tkiral]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

• [X] I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

npm audit fix --force is consistently not correctly moving directories and their associated files and subdirectories. This has meant the only way to proceed is to manually recursively copy then delete from whatever source and target directories that are necessary for the fix. The examples I've come across are for the acorn-walk, acorn-globals and babel-loader projects, but I'm assuming I will come across more as I continue.

Expected Behavior

npm audit fix --force is able to move directories as expected when making updates.

Steps To Reproduce

1. In this environment... (?)
2. With this config... (?)
3. Run npm audit fix --force
