I'm using the following command to move a folder:
robocopy "C:\Users\TTHCMM" "D:\C_Drive\Users\TTHCMM" /E /MT:32 /NFL /NDL /NJH /NJS
However, I've noticed that this command can sometimes result in cyclic folders, which can be caused by Juncture folders, and it can also consume a large amount of disk space. For example, while the source folder "C:\Users\TTHCMM" may only have around 10GB of data, the destination folder "D:\C_Drive\Users\TTHCMM" can occupy several terabytes of memory.
After investigating the issue, I found that the problem is specifically caused by the following two folders:
D:\C_Drive\Users\TTHCMM\Local Settings\Application Data
D:\C_Drive\Users\TTHCMM\AppData\Local\Application Data
As extra information: when I run the command dir /a:l in the source folder "C:\Users\TTHCMM", I get the following result:

How could I copy the folder correctly without having this issue?
