Recently had to move files from an archive location. THe archive location was a reasonable large folder structure containing around 60000 files of various sizes (between 1Kb to 100GB+).
The archive was to be cleaned out leaving only files created on a Monday. I won’t go into why this was the case.
Came up with the following script, which works pretty well.

Set-Location

-ne 'Monday'}
ForEach
($file
in $allbackups)
{
$Count++;
$relativePath
= Resolve-Path -Path $file.DirectoryName
-Relative
$DestinationPath
= Join-Path $DestinationRootPath
-childpath $relativePath.replace('.\','')
Write-Progress -Activity "Moving $($file.FullName)"
-Status 'Progress ->' -PercentComplete
(([int]($Count
/ $allbackups.Count))
* 100)
Move-Item -Path $file.FullName
-Destination $DestinationPath
}
