deleting subfolders within a folder, not contents.

Hi. I know that I could individually open each folder but let me explain why this would be such a pain.

I am trying to upload photos that had synced to picasaweb, then downloaded to my computer, now with the intention of uploading to another site to order photos. Well they had been grouped by date in picasa, each date is a separate album. so there are A LOT- like billion folders with 2 or 3 photos each. i would like to just take out the folders there- because they are all inside another folder.

It seems there should be a simple solution for this! My 7 month old has incredibly limited patience with my computer messing lol but if I do it the slow way he'l prolly be 13 by the time I'm done.

Thanks!

Not entirely sure of what you're trying to do, but it seems as if you want to extract the images from the subfolders, but not have to do it one by one.

OK
Create a new folder on your drive - "Destination"
Select the top level folder for all this pictures and subfolders.
Search for jpg - this will show just the images, whatever folder/subfolder they live in
Highlight the ones you want, Copy, Paste to the "Destination" folder.
Poof - all the relevant images, flatted into one folder.
