What has this got to do with disk cleanup? At any rate the OP can get the
answer at the MIcrosoft site.

Remove the Read Only attribute from the My Doc folder and you'll be able to
copy to D drive. It's recommended that you don't move this system folder. Make
a copy on the D drive instead.

See Kelly's site, below, for several fix options to this common problem.

Get TweakUi, which should allow special folders, such as MY DOCUMENTS, to
be relocated...
