Move files with Robocopy
Posted: 09 Apr 2023 15:29
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 contains duplicate files, robocopy will delete the first file encountered but not the duplicate files.
Does anyone have a workaround? Thank you.
This is the script :
edit1 : even by restarting the script a second time, the duplicate files are not erased, this means that Robocopy does not process the file if it already exists in the destination. How to change this behavior?
