    Need to move files from multiple folders to multiple same level folder


    We have a file structure like thisTop level Folder--CustomerName-----Inbox-----Outbox-----Archive--CustomerName-----Inbox-----Outbox-----Archive--CustomerName-----Inbox-----Outbox-----Archiverepeat 500 times. I want to move all files older than 1 year from the inbox and outbox of each customer to the archive folder of each customer. I'd prefer to not have to run a script on each customer folder separately. Is there a way to have a script run on the tip level and it goes through each of the 500 customers and move those files?This is on a server 2019.

    :)

    Unzip multiple files in same folder

    How can I unzip multiple files inside some folder in Windows 10?

    Only option available is to extract a file at once and with a popup window suggesting a folder with file name.

    Need to move files from multiple folders to multiple same level folder

    Can I replace multiple files in multiple folders?

    I know I can search for multiple files in multiple folders by searchiing using an * and extension, e.g. *.pdf. If I try and replace these files by dragging files to replace them into the folder with the files that I want replaced, won't the files to replace
    restored the folders that the files I want to replace are?
