How do I promote the files from a subfolder into each parent folder for 1000+ folders

[DharmDevi]

Hi,

I have the following folder hierarchy. There are over 1000 folders each for a different company.  I need to put the files from the child folder, into each of the parent folders. (see example below). 

Rather than cut and paste each of the files (there's like 16,000++ files) I would like to run a command or program to do this. But I can't find anything that will work.

(Folder) Company ABC

File A

File B

File C

(subfolder) Attachments

File Z

File Y

(Folder) Company DEF

File AA

File BB

File CC

(subfolder) Attachments

File ZZ

File YY

And what I would like it to look like is

(Folder) Company ABC

File A

File B

File C

File Z

File Y

(Folder) Company DEF

File AA

File BB

File CC

File ZZ

File YY

Thank you for your attention.

Hi @DharmDevi 

That should work 

$Folders = Get-ChildItem -Directory C:\GIT_WorkingDir\PowerShellScripts\Techcommunity
Foreach ($Folder in $Folders)
{
Write-Host "Working on Folder: $($Folder.Name)" -foregroundColor Green
$Files = Get-ChildItem -File $Folder.FullName -Recurse
Foreach ($File in $Files)
{
$FileName = $File.Name
$FilePath = $File.VersionInfo.FileName
$TargetFolder = $Folder.FullName
Write-Host "Move-Item: $FilePath > $TargetFolder\$FileName" -foregroundColor Cyan
Move-Item -Path $FilePath -Destination "$TargetFolder\$Filename"
}
}

Hi,  Thank you very much for this. 

I discovered I don't have the correct rights to my system to be able to do this.  I think I will have to look for the CMD version (as I have access to this and not powershell).

If you don't have the rights it won't work with cmd imho
