📄 Description

When the user tries to move their budget directory there's a chance the directory will fail if the permissions aren't right or the files are locked.

The current issue is that if it fails it leaves the users budget files in one place, but the app still references the old file location. So their budget files appear to be gone.

The fix is to allow the budget directory to succeed if the budget files moved, which allows the app to set the new budget directory. To mitigate file locking I've added retries.
