Extract all files from Parent Folder and Subfolders

i have Seriously Nested Folder Heirarchy Syndrome (SNFHS) sometimes and i would like a tool that will let me manage this condition by extracting all the files from any particular parent folder and all subfolders.

is there a balm for this condition in the form of an app or script even if i won't cure it?

TIA

If you're familiar with UNIX try the 'find' command in Terminal.

Restore your hard drive from the backup copy made prior to this happening. With Time Machine it's relatively easy to do.

i don't have time machine on because i have to turn it off when i boot into windows and it doesn't always get turned back on.
