 If you don't have the space to store a copy of your data, you can use the `--remove-source-files` option to rsync. This will delete each file after it has been transferred. Note that `mv` is pretty dumb: it copies everything and only then deletes the source files, so you will still need twice the space.

+As mentioned earlier, double-check that you remember the passphrase for `/new` and have the new masterkey saved somewhere before moving the files.

 $ rsync -av --remove-source-files /old/* /new

+When rsync is finished, it will leave an empty directory tree in `/old`. A safe way to delete these directories is:
+
+```
+find /old -type d -delete
+```
+
+This is safer than `rm -R` because it will only remove directories and error out if any files are left behind. Note that it will also try to delete the mountpoint `/old` and fail at doing so. This is expected:
+```
+find: cannot delete ‘/old’: Device or resource busy
