By default, Expand-Archive creates a folder in the current location that is the same name as the ZIP file. The parameter allows you to specify the path to a different folder. The target folder is created if it does not exist. Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.
I have the following simple powershell to extract a zip folder (containing other folders and only log files) to a destination
$FolderPath = "C:\Temp\Whatever"
Expand-Archive -Path "$FolderPath\logs.zip" -DestinationPath "$FolderPath\logs"
Unfortunately this returns a whole bunch of errors like below....
Remove-Item : Cannot find path 'C:\Temp\Whatever\logs\1_Selenium SEPA-Test\Attempt1\1_Start VM's\Release\1_Initialize Agent.log' because it does not exist.

and loads of other errors that are similar
I can confirm that the file referenced in the first error C:\Temp\Whatever\logs\1_Selenium SEPA-Test\Attempt1\1_Start VM's\Release\1_Initialize Agent.log
does exist in the zip folder at an equivalent location...
After the script concludes, I do a see an incomplete folder in the directory specified.
Whats going on here?
