PowerShell Change Download Folder Pathway in Network Share - powershell

Question

I have this script that downloads files from a report server and puts those files in a local network share. The script does what it needs to, but the download folder looks like this hitsqlp -> Extracts -> output -> web16p...this is the pathway of where the folder needs to live, but it is replicating that pathway into subfolders so now I have to click on every subfolder to get to the files.
I want the folder 'SSRSFolder' to be a subfolder of \epicsqlt\Extracts\Output\HIT\web16p
Code below, I'm not sure where I went wrong:
set-location -path \\epicsqlt\Extracts\Output\HIT\web16p
$downloadFolder = "\\epicsqlt\Extracts\Output\HIT\web16p"
$ssrsServer = "blahblahblah"
$secpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString "password" -AsPlainText -Force
$mycreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("username", $secpasswd)
$ssrsProxy = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri "$($ssrsServer)" -Credential $mycreds
$ssrsProxy = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri "$($ssrsServer)" -UseDefaultCredential
$ssrsItems = $ssrsProxy.ListChildren("/", $true) | Where-Object {$_.TypeName -eq "DataSource" -or $_.TypeName -eq "Report"}
Foreach($ssrsItem in $ssrsItems)
{
# Determine extension for Reports and DataSources
if ($ssrsItem.TypeName -eq "Report")
{
$extension = ".rdl"
}
else
{
$extension = ".rds"
}
Write-Host "Downloading $($ssrsItem.Path)$($extension)";
$downloadFolderSub = $downloadFolder.Trim('\') + $ssrsItem.Path.Replace($ssrsItem.Name,"").Replace("/","\").Trim()
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $downloadFolderSub -Force > $null
$ssrsFile = New-Object System.Xml.XmlDocument
[byte[]] $ssrsDefinition = $null
$ssrsDefinition = $ssrsProxy.GetItemDefinition($ssrsItem.Path)
[System.IO.MemoryStream] $memoryStream = New-Object System.IO.MemoryStream(#(,$ssrsDefinition))
$ssrsFile.Load($memoryStream)
$fullDataSourceFileName = $downloadFolderSub + "\" + $ssrsItem.Name + $extension;
$ssrsFile.Save($fullDataSourceFileName);
}

Answer 1

if i'm reading this right.
you are starting the script with
set-location -path \epicsqlt\Extracts\Output\HIT\web16p
then you are setting the $downloadfolder variable to that path and including $downloadfolder in your $downloadfoldersub creation.
so the result would be
epicsqlt\Extracts\Output\HIT\web16p\somepath\somefolder\
and then you are creating a new-item with that whole path, when you are already working in the \web16p\ folder.
