I gave some untested advice on a similar topic which turned out poorly, so
this solution creates a !.bat file for you to examine and run only when you
are satified that it is correct. Test on dummy files first.


dir /a:d /s /b /-p|sed -n '/images/Is/\(.*\)images\(.*\)/
move "\1images\2\\*.*" "\1\"/Ip'>!.bat


That is one single line which you can copy and paste into a temporary batch
file, and run in your MAIN subdirectory.

It uses GnuSED V3.02.80 from http://www.student.northpark.edu/pemente/sed/
http://www.student.northpark.edu/pemente/sed/sed3028a.zip

rename to sed.exe


It does not remove the images folder, but you can do that with this line



dir /a:d /s /b /-p|sed -n '/images/Is/\(.*\)images\(.*\)/
rd "\1images\2"/Ip'>!.bat

in a similar fashion. As before, test on dummy folders first.

A WARNING: these commands will process any path with "images" in it so if
your MAIN or "Directory 1" or "Directory 2" etc contains the text "images"
then edit the final batch file as necessary.
