PowerShell script to move files and folders including subfolders from one location to another older than x days
Don't waste your time trying to re-invent robocopy
in PowerShell.
robocopy \\servername\location C:\Dumps /e /mov /minage:31
Use the -Recurse
option on the Get-ChildItem
command to get through to the files in the sub folders and then move each individually by piping the collection to Move-Item
Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Test" -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -lt (Get-date).AddDays(-31)} | Move-Item -destination "C:\Dumps"
