You need to specify the name of your destination otherwise it will replace your parent folder instead (Since you are using REPLACE_EXISTING)

 Path path1 = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath("D:\\VFSImagecomp\\compressed");
 Path path2 = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath("D:\\destinitionFile\\myNewDirectory");

If you want to keep the same name then: 

 Path path2 = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath("D:\\destinitionFile\\compressed");
