Moving items between folders in a SharePoint 2010 list

Question

Is there a way to move items or folders around in a SharePoint 2010 list? Either in Designer or SharePoint? I have a single list, with multiple levels of folders and items within those folders. Can I move an item and/or folder containing items to a different folder within that list without being required to delete the items and/or folder and manually recreate the item/folder in the new desired location? It seems like that would be desirable functionality for list maintenance.
