Use rename(). Note that if this runs on a web server, the web server user must have access to write to the target directory.

rename("oldpath", "newpath");

// in your case, assuming the script calling rename() 
// resides in the directory above 'myappdemo.com'
rename("myappdemo.com/VueGuides/services/iclean", "myappdemo.com/VueGuides/services/pics/iclean");

// Or use full absolute paths
rename("/path/myappdemo.com/VueGuides/services/iclean", "/path/myappdemo.com/VueGuides/services/pics/iclean");
