gunzip subfolders at once

Hello, I have gz files stored in many sub-sub-folders; is there way I can gunzip all files at once into a single folder single_folder without looping over each sub-sub-folder?
C:\Main\Data\subf1\subf2\subf3\subf4\subf5\subf6
The gz files are in subf6
To use gunzip I have to be in subf6
filenames = gunzip(????,'single_folder');
Is there a way to gunzip standing in subf1?

fp = 'C:\Main\Data\subf1\subf2\subf3\subf4\subf5\subf6';
gunzip(fullfile(fp,'*.gz'),'single_folder'); % or maybe you want the output to be fullfile(fp, 'single_folder')?

Sounds like it works, sorry I misunderstood the question!
For future reference an alternative strategy is to build up the list of files and pass the list to gunzip
fl=dir(fullfile(fp,'**/*.gz')
fl=fullfile({fl.folder},{fl.name});
gunzip(fl,'single_folder')
