Windows 10: Move multiple folders that contains specific files

Hello everyone. I need help. I am driving crazy with something that may be simple.

I have a folder with 5000 movies. See the screenshot:

https://preview.redd.it/qtseh9wul0g...bp&s=bde881bb11363c8d33c320639653b9fc21cd373b

I want to select all folders that contain a file with the extension *.spa.srt

And I want to move all of those folders to other root folder.

I installed like 10 different applications that searches for files or folders, however, none of the applications is giving me the option to select folders that contains an specific file. I can do one by one but I want to move all of them in a single shot.

I run windows 10.

My root folder is: \\supernas\Peliculas\YTS Completas

The target folder in which I want to move all movies that contains a file *.spa.srt is: \\supernas\DataVolume5\Peliculas OK Ingles

Search syntax for "folders containing specific file types" ??

Thanks Lance. Most of that I know already. I was asking for syntax to specifically find folders containing a certain file type i.e. photos.

For instance a search string that would in effect request: "List all folders on drive D containing photos" or "List all folders on drive D containing videos" and have just the folders containing those files, not the files themselves, listed in the results.

 

Windows 10 search for a specific folder name and file name

Carlos: Thanks for your reply. What you suggest is what I have been doing. I search for folders with a specific name and get a list. Then I have to search each folder for a specific file. So it's a two step search and that's what I was trying to avoid.

I assume there are applications out there that allow for an "AND" search in Windows. I'll try that approach.

Thanks, again.

 

What is the Container folder and why is it missing?

They have 5 steps listed? Can you not get the files they mention in step 5? I can't tell if Containers is the name of a Windows file or just an internal reference or what.
