I tried re-creating the scenario you mentioned as follows:

Created a directory "D:\Project\extensions\files" that contains the following items:

A File Folder named "datadocs"
An XML file named "script.xml"
A DLL file named "config.dll"

I executed the below PS script and it archived the folder contents in same location:

$compress = @{
  Path = "D:\Project\extensions\files"
  CompressionLevel = "Fastest"
  DestinationPath = "D:\Project\extensions\files\holds.zip"
}
Compress-Archive @compress

Once the zip file was generated, I used the below cmdlet to delete it & move to "D:\Project\extensions" path:

Move-Item "D:\Project\extensions\files\holds.zip" "D:\Project\extensions\holds.zip"

Hope this solution meets your requirements!
