This is an ancient post, sorry, but I only came across it now and I wanted to give my solution to whoever might stumble upon this one day.

As some have mentioned, performing an INSERT and then a DELETE might lead to integrity issues, so perhaps a way to get around it, and to perform everything neatly in a single statement, is to take advantage of the [deleted] temporary table.

DELETE FROM [source]
OUTPUT [deleted].
INTO [destination] ()
