To see if it works on D at all

No. Run those 2 commands in an admin powershell. Then close powershell and try your batch again. You can also remove Set-Location. That was a test

Try this as the only line in the batch. Replace SOURCE and DESTINATION with one of yours.

Code: 
Move-Item -Path D:\SOURCE\*.* -Destination D:\DESTINATION\ -Confirm -Force

So
Code: 
Move-Item -Path "D:\Bandeja de entrada\000 Móvil\Audios\*.*" -Destination "D:\Bandeja de entrada\Audios"
in powershell console works. does not work in .bat file.

Make a new .bat with this test. This is to COPY, not move. Just to test


Code: 
echo off
cmd.exe /C
robocopy "D:\Bandeja de entrada\000 Móvil\Audios\*.*" "D:\Bandeja de entrada\Audios" /E

If that move-item command runs in powershell console without running as admin it doesn’t sound like permissions issues.

Read some and test some from here:

I don't know how to tell in English:

My laptop has two hard disk: one of them HDD (C drive, where Windows is installed) and another SSD (D drive, where I have all my information), but both are inside my laptop.

Do you understand me????

Would not renaming .bat to .ps1 work? Do you have to use bat? Anyway, this seems to work for me:
Code: 
start "" C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe "Move-Item -Path "D:\SOURCE\*.*" -Destination "D:\DESTINATION"
If you still want to use .bat
Code: 
move /y "D:\SOURCE\*.*" "D:\DESTINATION"
