With the following command, you can expand all ZIP files in a folder, including subfolders, with PowerShell.

\n
Get-ChildItem -Path '<Folder Path>' -Recurse -Filter *.zip | ForEach-Object {\n    $destination = "$($_.DirectoryName)\\$($_.BaseName)"\n    Expand-Archive -Path $_.FullName -DestinationPath $destination -Force\n    Remove-Item -Path $_.FullName       \n}
\n

I actually ran this script against a folder that contained multiple ZIP files in subfolders.

If you change the -Filter option in Get-ChildItem and the processing inside ForEach-Object, you can perform a wide variety of operations on arbitrary files in subfolders, so it looks like this could be useful in many different ways.

After a quick search, I couldn’t find a script that matched my needs exactly, so I decided to put it together as a blog post.
