how to move the sims 3 folder off my desktop

i finished downloading and installing everything and it works great! now i am just wondering how do i move the sims 3 folder off my desktop? i dont put any icons there and when i try to move it to a different folder it says this action cannot be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another location. appreciate any help, thanks

Have you shut off the Sims 3 in your system tray?
If that doesn't work, try logging off and then moving it.

Hello,

What folder exactly?
And yes, it's probably your The Sims 3 Launcher that's still running in the background.
