How to use movefile correct?

Hello guys,

My goal is to delete the .html part of .edf.html-files.

Using the following code, gives the error:

'Error using movefile. Unknown error occurred.

Error in remove_html (line 7)

movefile(oldname,newname);'

files = dir('/Users/haron/Desktop/Work/Haron/aprikose_edfs/*.edf.html');
for ii=1:length(files)
    oldname = files(ii).name;
    [path,newname,ext] = fileparts(oldname);
    movefile(oldname,newname);
end

In the first iteration I get as output for newname: 00008530_s001_t000.edf, which seems to be correct, but it got issues with 'movefile'...

Any ideas?

 files = dir('/Users/haron/Desktop/Work/Haron/aprikose_edfs/*.edf.html');
for ii=1:length(files)
    oldname = fullfile(files(ii).folder,files(ii).name);
    [path,newname,ext] = fileparts(oldname);
    movefile(oldname,fullfile(path, newname));
end
