Here is a good way to globally redirect a subdirectory and anything that follows to a final destination.

originasite.com/first-folder/other-folder/slug-here/
originasite.com/first-folder/other-folder/other-slug-here/
would be redirected to
finalsite.com/new-location/

Source: ^/first-folder/other-folder/.+
Destination: https://www.finalsite.com/new-location/

Carryover the Path

If you want to preserve the part you are redirecting and it go to an equivalent page you would use:

Source: ^/first-folder/other-folder/(.+)
Destination: https://www.finalsite.com/new-location/$1
