Moving sub folders into parent folder

[Gigawatt]

Hello all, 

 

So all of my movies are located in C:\Media and I would like to pull the movie files out of the folder that it's into the root of C:\Media. Possibly a batch file or cmd command would be awesome if anyone knows ones.

Doesn't even need to be that fancy

Just search *.* and it will list every file.  Select all, cut, then navigate to C:\Media, and paste.

Or even better, have both folders open at the same time, then drag from search results to destination. If drive is same, it moves instead of copying.

If you're doing many transfers this makes more sense but when it's a one-off single move, the effort of opening another window and arranging them, though still small of course, is likely more than just doing a cut and paste within it, espeicaply when everything is taking place in one folder and you only have to shift your view from the search results of it to the root of the folder itself.  Also, you can do it between partitions/drives as well, just need to right drag instead of left so you're given the choice to move instead of accept the default.
