Try below approach:-

1. Assign todayDate = DateTime.Now.Date
2. Assign sourceFolderPath = “Path to source folder”
3. Assign destinationFolderPath = “Path to destination folder”
4. Assign files = Directory.GetFiles(sourceFolderPath)
5. For Each file in files

6. Assign fileCreationDate = File.GetCreationTime(file)
   

7. If fileCreationDate < todayDate
   

8.     Move File: From file To destinationFolderPath
   

9. End If
   

10. End For Each

This is how to get a list of the files you want…

Using DirectoryInfo.GetFiles instead of Directory.GetFiles, advanced filtering

Most times it’s recommended to use Directory.GetFiles to get the files in a folder. I’ve found DirectoryInfo.GetFiles to be more useful. It gets the files as an IEnumerable of FileInfo, which makes filtering easier and gives you more info about the files. You can later For Each through it and get any of the attributes of the file you want: filename (currentItem.Name); extension (currentItem.Extension), full path and filename (currentItem.FullName) etc. Here is the full definition of FileInfo …

New System.IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\temp").GetFiles("*").Where(Function(s) (CDate(s.CreatedDate) < Today))

Just put that into a For Each:
