zipping top folders

How to make zip files from top folders.
I have in one folder \files many folders like
\monday
\tuesday
\wednesday
\thursday_first
\thursday_second

and every of this folders have files and subfolders in it.

So I need batch which will zip create zip from first folders and include all files and subfolders.
for example, zip file will include
\monday\all.txt
\monday\user.txt
\monday\scanned
\monday\listed

and when zip is created it delete folder \monday
I also have installed 7zip if with regular zip that is not possible.

Not quite understanding what you mean by first folder.  Does this mean that monday, tuesday, wednesday and thursday_first get zipped up into individual zip files but thursday_second does not?

[Blisk]

all of these are first folders
\monday
\tuesday
\wednesday
\thursday_first
\thursday_second

from each of this is created new zip.

but all subfolders from \monday are zipped in monday_dec_12_2016.zip
but all subfolders from \tuesday are zipped in tuesday_dec_12_2016.zip
but all subfolders from \wednesday are zipped in wednesday_dec_12_2016.zip
but all subfolders from \thursday_first are zipped in thursday_frist_dec_12_2016.zip
but all subfolders from \thursday_second are zipped in thursday_second_dec_12_2016.zip


and so on....

Well more confusion.  You did not mention anything about putting a date into the zip file name.  Is the Day of the Week supposed to correspond to the actual year month day?

monday_dec_12_2016.zip
tuesday_dec_13_2016.zip
wednesday_dec_14_2016.zip
thursday_frist_dec_15_2016.zip
thursday_second_dec_15_2016.zip

it is a date when zip is created, so new zip files can be created because there is date in name.
If not I can have only one backup because new will overwrite old one.

7 Zip can do all what you require it to do...you need to start reading the Help files...

The CH archives have a number of relevant articles.

Users who are using Microsoft Windows XP or later operating systems can compress files using the included compression utility by following the steps below.
    Select each of the files and folders you want to add to the compressed file.
    Right-click one of the selected files or folders and click 'Send To' and then click 'Compressed (zipped) Folder'.

Or use a third party thing. Like Patio said:
