That is the whole misconception I am trying to get rid of. There is no "this one". It would be like if you are a program running on a computer, and you move the entire program from one spot of the memory in RAM, to another. You could also save it to disk and then put it back later. It makes no difference to the user or the program or anything. The concept of "this" doesn't even make sense in terms of information like a computer program. A copy of some information is the same information.
You could also move your head around in space. And yet you are still the same person, are you not? How would it make any difference if you deleted all the atoms in your head and moved them a slight amount to the left. Or deleted all the bits in RAM and moved them to a different place.
