'Seek a command to move or rename or cut a file on windows

I want to move / cut a file on Windows (PS: the orginal path and destination are on the same drive.) I know xcopy can copy a file, but I don't know how to cut a file with it. And it came to me the command of rename which is the function name of cutting a file in C/C++.

I tried this, rename command, but it seems it just renames files under a same folder, so it can't do cutting.

And I also don't want to do copy+delete the orignal one work, because a real cut a more effective since it just changes the file's position reference in the directory tree.

Edit: I'm seeking a command working for VisualStudio Post Build Event. It seems Move-Item doesn't work for that.

Thank to @Olaf's hint. I just find the command move, and with the help of if exist ... del, it works well for visual studio build event

IF EXIST "destionation\$(TargetFileName)" (DEL /F "destionation\$(TargetFileName)")
Move $(TargetPath) destionation\$(TargetFileName)
