Where? In VFP? The command prompt? Powershell?
Great question
I'm searching my entire hard drive for folders or files not found in the specific directory.
I am using Windows 10.
My search tool is:

Hello.
Using the windows command prompt, you can :
dir "/[the_search_root_path]/*.*" /s /b /A-d | find /V "/[the_path_you_want_to_exclude]/" > /[your_output_text_file]

Everything does have a UI if that's helpful. If you're at a command prompt, you can use
e /e
to open the GUI.

A directory based file structure is a tree structure. There is no implied way to unfold a tree structure without recurse. And recurse is not a one-level action. So it cannot exist a file skeleton, acting on a solely level, to impact other levels.

The easiest would probably be to fire a DIR command from your application:
DIR SpecificDir*.* /ON > specdir.txt // Order by Name DIR OtherDir*.* /ON > otherdir.txt
Then read the TXT files and compare the filenames after extracting it from lines.
Since I am not a VFP but a Clipper/VO/X# developer hopefully this will give you an idea how to do it using the VFP language syntax in X#.
LOCAL aSpecDirFiles, aOtherDirFiles AS STRING[] LOCAL aMissing = ArrayNew() AS ARRAY aSpecDirFiles = FileToStr("specdir.txt").Split(CR_LF) aOtherDirFiles = FileToStr("otherdir.txt").Split(CR_LF) LOCAL nPos = 1 AS INT FOREACH line AS STRING IN aSpecDirFiles SpecFile = SubStr(line, <start>, <end>) OtherFile = SubStr(aOtherDirFiles[nPos], <start>, <end>) DO WHILE OtherFile < SpecFile AAdd(aMissing, OtherFile) nPos = nPos + 1 OtherFile = SubStr(aOtherDirFiles[nPos], <start>, <end>) ENDDO IF OtherFile = SpecFile && We have a match nPos = nPos + 1 ENDIF NEXT FOR i = nPos UPTO aOtherFiles.Length AAdd(aMissing, SubStr(aOtherDirFiles[i], <start>, <end>)) NEXT
Hope this helps.

I use Nirsoft Searchmyfiles for searching by file names, for duplicate files, for non-duplicates, for files containing a string, many options, great tool. He has other really useful tools 8-)

The best drive search tools are those that search the MFT (Master File Table) on NTFS volumes rather than iterating through the file system itself. It's like the difference between finding records in a DBF using the index as opposed to scanning each record individually.
Two free examples are Wizfile and Ultrasearch.
As an example Wizfile can rescan my 500GB SSD hard drive in about 5 seconds and can return search results almost instantly.
