Powershell Move-Item that is NOT in a list
I have a list of folders, these folders are the ones I want to keep. I'd like to move all other folders that are NOT in the list.
This will move the files in the list
$file_list = "Folder-A", "Folder-B", "Folder-C"
$source_folder = "C:Move-Folders-TestShop-Test"
$destination_folder = "C:Move-Folders-TestArchive-Test"
foreach ($file in $file_list) {
Move-Item $source_folder$file $destination_folder
}
How can I move the ones that are not in the list?

Get-ChildItem with the Exclude param will do what you want:
$file_list = "Folder-A", "Folder-B", "Folder-C"
$source_folder = "C:Move-Folders-TestShop-Test"
$destination_folder = "C:Move-Folders-TestArchive-Test"
Get-ChildItem $source_folder -Exclude $file_list -Directory | Move-Item -Destination $destination_folder -WhatIf
