When you want to put or copy one folder to the location where another folder with the same name is present, a dialogue box appears. Click on the Yes Button to merge two folders & get a single folder in the location. Hence, we have successfully merged two folders in Windows using the Merge option.

Using Windows Powershell

Step 1: Right-click over the Windows Button & you will get a few options. Click on the Windows Powershell (Admin) option.

Execute the following command by providing the Source and Destination folder address. Copy the entire code or command & paste it into the Powershell. It will not provide any output, but the merging will be done on the source folder.

$sourcePath = “<Source Folder Address>”

$destinationPath = “<Destination Folder Address>”

$files = Get-ChildItem -Path $sourcePath -Recurse -Filter “*.*”

foreach($file in $files)

{

$sourcePathFile = $file.FullName

$destinationPathFile = $file.FullName.Replace($sourcePath, $destinationPath)

$exists = Test-Path $destinationPathFile

if(!$exists)

{

$dir = Split-Path -parent $destinationPathFile

if (!(Test-Path($dir))) { New-Item -ItemType directory -Path $dir }

Copy-Item -Path $sourcePathFile -Destination $destinationPathFile -Recurse -Force

}

else

{

$isFile = Test-Path -Path $destinationPathFile -PathType Leaf

if(!$isFile)

{

Copy-Item -Path $sourcePathFile -Destination $destinationPathFile -Recurse -Force

}

}

}
