Remove subfolders from a folder (loop)

[Rodman]

Hello,

I have a collection of folders which contain subfolders and files.

I want for each folder that contains subfolders to remove them but keep the files in this folder.

For exemple, from this :

Root folder
_folder 1
__subfolder 1
___test.txt
__subfolder 2
___test.jpg
_folder 2
__subfolder 1
___subsubfolder 1
____test.mov

I want this :

Root folder
_folder 1
__test.txt
_test.jpg
_folder 2
__test.mov


Thank you.

Hi,
u can try this but it will move all files to the root folder not to the first subfolder

Code: Select all

@echo off 
cls
set root=%userprofile%\desktop\rootfolder
For /R %root% %%a IN (*.*) DO move "%%a" "%root%"

But There is a problem if there is a file with the same name i couldn't fix it
and you can use this:

Code: Select all

@echo off
cls
set root=%userprofile%\desktop\rootfolder
MD %root%\jpg
set jpg=%root%\jpg
MD %root%\txt
set txt=%root%\txt

For /R %root% %%a IN (*.jpg) DO move "%%a" "%jpg%"
For /R %root% %%b IN (*.txt) DO move "%%a" "%txt%"

This will make folders named "jpg" and "txt" and copy text files to txt folder and jpg files to jpg folder
you can add folders usinf MD and use the same For command to move files to it

Thats all what i can do i hope that help u
