Script to move files into upper level directory

[moss]

My google skills are weak tonight.
Im after a script or method that would allow me to move a file from a directory into the upper level directory and then delete the empty folder.
Currently the structure is like this:

Folder0:
     Folder1:
          Folder:
               File.ext
     Folder2:
          Folder:
               File.ext
     Folder3:
          Folder:
               File.ext

Ideally i'd like the script to be ran from the very top level folder as it contains 1500 sub folders. The files inside each subfolder all have the same extension.
Below is the structure i'd like.

Folder0:
     Folder1:
               File.ext
     Folder2:
               File.ext
     Folder3:
               File.ext

I dont mind which type of script, powershell, vbscript, linux based etc

...in Windows 7 I find the easiest way to do this is to go to the parent folder that contains the child folders, in the top right I search for *.fileextension. Once it finds all the files, I just cut and paste them where I want them to go.

This wont work as I don't want all of the files in the top level directory, they only need to be moved up a single level.

Its not a major problem if I cant move them, just a slight inconvenience.
Thanks anyway.

Sorry, I assumed you didn't know how to script it, powershell would be fine as the files are stored on a Server 2008 machine.
It also doesn't need to be run on a schedule its a one off task for now, although im likely to come across this problem again in the near future.
