Hello everyone, well I've got about 800 movies all as files on my hard drive. I wanted to insert these files into several folders to sort them by genre (comedy, action, etc.). I downloaded file2folder but I made the mistake of selecting all my files, so now I have 800 FOLDERS, lol. My question is if there’s a way to get all my files out of these folders and start over from scratch. Thank you very much.

Good evening,
Easy
In the search bar located in the toolbar of the highest directory in your list (C:\ My Movies)
Let's assume that from C:\My Movies when you open this folder you find yourself with the 800 folders created by file2folder.

-So you go to the folder C:\My Movies
-In the search bar, you type *.* (star point star), this will search for all the files and folders contained in C:\My Movies.
-Once the search is complete, you select all the video files.
-You press "Control" + X (Cut).
-You position yourself in the folder of your choice and press Control + V (Paste)
- Your movies will be moved to the folder.
- From there, you delete all the directories that are useless to you.
