Hello -
I am attempting to move all of my files from one account to another, so I am trying to follow the instructions via link below.

Since you have already shared the folder, on the non-team member account you can simply create another folder with the same name elsewhere, and then drag the contents of the shared folder into the new private folder. Does this generate the same error?

This works sometimes. When I have subfolders or files that are shared with someone else, it generates the same error. This is also going to take a lot more time.
I guess if this is the only solution, then I'll have to do it. But definitely not ideal.
