Answer 1

there is a file copy. Recreate folder and copy all the files from original directory to the new one example

static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        DirectoryInfo sourceDir = new DirectoryInfo("c:\\a");
        DirectoryInfo destinationDir = new DirectoryInfo("c:\\b");

        CopyDirectory(sourceDir, destinationDir);

    }

    static void CopyDirectory(DirectoryInfo source, DirectoryInfo destination)
    {
        if (!destination.Exists)
        {
            destination.Create();
        }

        // Copy all files.
        FileInfo[] files = source.GetFiles();
        foreach (FileInfo file in files)
        {
            file.CopyTo(Path.Combine(destination.FullName, 
                file.Name));
        }

        // Process subdirectories.
        DirectoryInfo[] dirs = source.GetDirectories();
        foreach (DirectoryInfo dir in dirs)
        {
            // Get destination directory.
            string destinationDir = Path.Combine(destination.FullName, dir.Name);

            // Call CopyDirectory() recursively.
            CopyDirectory(dir, new DirectoryInfo(destinationDir));
        }
    }
