    Extracting Zip Files


    Are the step-by-step processes identical? That is, the folder extracted from and the folder extracted to belong to the same hierarchical file system structure. If they are, that suggests mildly the Cumulative Update left an electron or two out of place.
     
  3. Extracting Zip Files


    Thanks pyramid10 for your contribution, I ensured that the steps taken and the source and destination folders were the same, in the using zip7 as suggested by BunnyJ resolved all issues for me.
    I am the first to admit that I am a long long way from understanding the intricacies of computers and if truth be told I am now to old anyway to absorb much information.
    Cheers.

    How do I get rid of the space that the failed extraction took?

    Not enough space (Extract)

    Hello!

    I was extracting a huge file that weights about 81GB. I decided to put it on my D drive which has 180GB/10GB and the drive was empty.

    But while on the extraction the file is getting larger and larger overtime of the extraction. it even passed the size of the original zip file. so now I faced an error which discontinues the extraction because of low space. is there anything I can do? My D drive is the largest among all and it has the most space. Is there anything else I can do?
