Powershell Copy-Item recursively but don't include folder name

Your command is telling PowerShell to copy the folder itself, with all its contents, to the destination folder. To copy only the contents of the original folder, change your path as follows:

Copy-Item -Path "C:\FolderA\*" -Destination "C:\FolderB\" -recurse -Force -Verbose
