I have alot of different folders with alot of files inside of them my question is, is there a way I can take the contents of these folders and merge them into one folder? other wise i have to go through them one by one and it is gonna take a long long time there are about 150 folders and probably about 15000 items inside of them. i have tried a few things but but none seem to work.
It is pretty messy. Been trying to write a script but i cant think of a way to do it. the way that have been show is the way i had been doing it and it was taking forever.
It matters not now, I have done it and it took a while lol.
Thank you anyway.
