Hi guys, I'm trying to create a script that sorts files in bulk according to their extension. I use robocopy to move the files. The script is functional, however I encounter a use case where robocopy copies a file but does not delete it from the source. This happens when the tree to be processed con...

Alles in Ordnung ! Problem solved.

I'll do some testing.

Thank you very much Steffen.

Thank you very much for your responsiveness.

My problem is solved thanks to you.
Thank you all for your answers, have a good week.
