PowerShell : Zip a Folder and Delete the Old One

  • Article

Hello Wiki,

Here is a Script which I used It today in my environment in order to Identify a day ago Folder named in Date format and push to ZIP It and then delete the folder Itself.

$Time =  (get-date).AddDays(-1).ToString("yyyMMdd")
$FName =  Get-ChildItem c:\Source -filter "$Time"
$source =  "$FName"
$destination =  "D:\Dest\$Time.zip"
 
If(Test-path $destination) {Remove-item $destination}
 
Add-Type -assembly "system.io.compression.filesystem"
 
[io.compression.zipfile]::CreateFromDirectory($Source, $destination)
 
Remove-Item -Path C:\Source\$Fname

Hope It will help to whom search for these kind of Scripts.
