Hi luvsql ,
Two things here:-
The Move To functional hasn't worked correctly for years. What I found was anything over 20 ish items select would fail. Not sure if that is still the case.
The issue you mention may be to do with the fact that the files are queued up in the background. First it does a move and at the same time it queues up a delete per file. I have seen 100GB take upwards of 8 hours to delete from the original location when all the data has moved to the new location. This was a couple of weeks ago.
If those don't describe your issue then as the other reply said Mover.io might be a good bet.
