hi r.alikhani，

thanks post.

based on understanding want create folder expiration task, want exclude 1 folder. if so, far know, ui configuration, there's no such settings.

but since file mangement task achieved powershell commands, might try operation powershell scripts. may need confirm in powershell forum.

and if want move files older day , exclude folder, try use robocopy.

for example:

robocopy /minage:n /xd dirsc

/minage: <n>      specifies minimum file age (exclude files newer n days or date).

/xd <directory> excludes directories match specified names , path
