How to Create Subfolders, Move Files and Archive [PowerShell]

This code snippet automates subfolder creation, moving files and archival using Powershell script.

Summary: This code segment aims to achieve the below scenario.

The folder path listing is as below. As it is depicted, the root folder is script_test_logs, where all the logs reside. Inside that folder, there are 02 subfolders (i.e. subfolder_1, subfolder_2) which consists of separate log files.

Below are the steps we need to achieve during the archival process.

• Firstly, inside each subfolder, we need to create a new subfolder.
• Then, we need to move the logs older than 30 days to the newly created subfolder.
• Compress the logs files inside the subfolder.
• Keep only the archived file and remove the logs to free up space.
