I have read both At what point does Robocopy overwrite a file? and At what point does Robocopy overwrite a file?, and neither seem to address my question or I'm totally clueless. Example(s):
- Parent-Dir: Zip Code
- Multiple sub-dir (each day):
yyyymmdd - Sample filename:
1_IPC1_NAPA_20240202001334.mp4
(there can be an average of 5,000 MP4 files per folder)
With both the src and dest having less than 500GB of free space, I run:
Robocopy A:\Parent_Dir B:\Parent_Dir /PURGE /MOVE
- I'm not clear\sure if that command will
/PURGEas needed, all at once, or try and write new data before it performs/PURGEon anything - I have used
/Lattempting to get a clue, but it only lists what's marked for deletion, not when during the processes, the marked item is deleted
