MATLAB: Does movefile rename a file instead of moving it

Question

I have a list of files in the current folder and need to move them to another directory which contains one folder for each file.

Therefore I am doing this:

for i=1:length(edf_files)                   % edf_files is the cell containing the names of the files I need
    this_file=edf_files{i};                 % highlighting the current file (XXX.edf)
    folder_name=this_file(1:end-8);         % assigning a name to the relative folder (XXX) 
    mkdir(dl_dir, folder_name);             % creating the folder in the desired directory (dl_dir)
    movefile(this_file, folder_name);       % moving the file to the new folder
end

But, instead of moving the file, the result is a list of renamed files in the source directory.

What can I do?
