as pointed out earlier, move is a copy + destroy.
If you want a copy alone, use copy and not move.

As Artur pointed out, command names are the references to objects.
if such a reference should be made invalid and the unneeded
storage should be reclaimed at this time, destroy is the correct thing.

Note, that move does not refer to a single object, but to an object tree,
all subobjects, classes, commands, etc. are affected as well.
