[Golang] Retaining Specific Folders and Removing the Rest under A Target Path

Let’s consider a situation where there are multiple folders located under a specific path, and we only have the names of a few folders that we want to retain while removing the rest. For instance, the folder structure is presented below, with all entries being folders: ├── 123123 ├── 123456 ├── 123678 ├── 123789 ├── target-folder-1 └── target-folder-2 To tackle this scenario, we can approach it in two logical ways: Firstly, we can move the known folders to a different folder at the same level as the target path, as a temporary measure. Then, we can delete the target path and rename the temporary folder to match the path name. Alternatively, we can traverse through the target path and eliminate all folders except those we intend to keep. In this post, I will demonstrate how to implement the second method using Golang. ...
