Move folders to parent level (Windows)
If you want to move folders to the parent level in Windows, you can achieve this using the Command Prompt or PowerShell. Here's how to do it using both methods:
Using Command Prompt:
Open the Command Prompt by pressing
Win + R
, typingcmd
, and pressing Enter.Navigate to the directory where your folders are located. Use the
cd
command to change directories.Use the
move
command with the*
wildcard to move all folders to the parent level. For example, if you're currently inC:\Parent\Subfolder
and you want to move all folders toC:\Parent
, you would run:arduinomove * ..
Press Enter to execute the command. This will move all folders from the current directory to the parent directory.
Using PowerShell:
Open PowerShell by pressing
Win + X
and selecting "Windows PowerShell" or "Windows PowerShell (Admin)".Navigate to the directory where your folders are located using the
cd
command.Use the
Move-Item
cmdlet to move all folders to the parent level. For example, if you're currently inC:\Parent\Subfolder
and you want to move all folders toC:\Parent
, you would run:powershellGet-ChildItem | ForEach-Object { Move-Item $_.FullName .. }
Press Enter to execute the command. This will move all folders from the current directory to the parent directory.
Remember that moving folders to the parent level can affect your file organization, so ensure you have a backup or take necessary precautions before performing the move. Also, be cautious when using these commands to avoid accidentally moving or overwriting important data.
