Go to start menu, Type Explorer in the search box and that should pull up Windows Explorer (it might just say Explorer) right click on it and select Run as Administrator, then browse to your minetest folder and move it. If you don't have Run as Administrator as an option that means you don't have Administrator permissions and you'll need to log in as the Administrator account.

Make sure it's not running. Restart your computer if you need to, that should ensure it's closed and none of it's files are being used, then try to move it.
