If you give users permission to delete files, then they will also be able to move them. If you want to prevent them from moving files, you would have to deny them permission to delete. You can do this by using the Advanced settings under the Security tab in the NTFS permissions for the particular folder(s). However, keep in mind that even if you do this, they would still be able to copy files from this folder to any other folder where they have write permissions.
