How to move files while Taring..

Hi,
When I run the following command the files get TAR but the files in the folder remain intact.

tar -cvf TARZIP.10 Nov09/

Is there any way to move them into the folder than just copying them.

Thanks and regards,
Gideon.

Note:I have around 15-20k files /folder


Thanks and regards,
Gideon.
