Storage vMotion + vmdk files in different folders

$

Hello,

 

Will storage vMotion move the vmdk files [in 2 different folders on the same datastore at the moment] into the same folder while migrated into the different datastore?

 

Why the vmdk files are in 2 different folders:

 

Windows 2008r2 was misconfigured badly so while rebooting it was going to the System Recovery. Wasn't able to recover the system.

The system was rebuilt and 2 drives D: & E: were attached ["Use an existing virtual disk"] as existing vmdk drives to the new VM.

 

So drive C: vmdk [rebuilt VM] file is in new-vm-folder & drives D: & E vmdk files are in old-vm-folder.

 

So "Will storage vMotion move the vmdk files [in 2 different folders on the same datastore at the moment] into the same folder while migrated into the different datastore?" I know that storage vMotion and re-naming files/folders works well.

If not what would be the best practice to get is sorted?

 

Many thanks,

Pawel
