- Dec 23, 2010 Sure. The.rar file and the file contents in the.rar after extraction are like 2 different entities. Deleting the.rar will not delete the extracted files.
- Where $1 is the argument with a value of your zip file's filename. Then alias unzip command in /.bashrc file to run this script. And after typing in terminal: unzip test.zip you will get: unzip test.zip && rm test.zip.
- Deletion-after-extraction would be very time-saving feature for me too. For example, WinRAR also providing an option of asking user after extraction whether he want to delete the unpacked archive or not. Very useful for me, can't switch to 7-zip just because of that.
Extracting ZIP files shortly after download without intervening in the process will surely make using the files that much quicker. The task is fully automatic and can be left alone after setting. Kyotesoft.

I have this funny habit of keeping the zip files on my comp even after I extract them and view all the files and pics in them and knowing that I dont need the zip file anymore. I guess these zip files will slowly start clogging my hard disk. What do you do after extracting and seeing all the files that are in zip or rar files?

How To Unzip Files Windows 10
Hi, I never delete the zip/rar files after extracting the files in the zip/rar. In my opinion, I scare that I will lost the extracted files and I will use the rar/zip files as my extra copies and I keep them in my external hard disk. So, I have a lot of rar/zip files in my computer and my external hard disk.

You're right, unnecessary files will eventually slow down your computer. I don't immediately delete zip files but I do computer housekeeping about once a month and they go then.

I guess it takes a loooooot of zip files to actually slow down your comp or fill it up. But for me I just realise that they make it difficult to find files as they are strewn all over my documnets and they make the file folders look messy!

I tend to unzip a file, use it then delete the file i unzipped and keep the zipped file. This way it saves space and I keep the files labeled clearly enough that i can re-find the items if i need to. I don't zip files of photos though. I just burn those to cd/dvd and store them off my computer

That sounds super-organised to me! I gotta learn a little from you Saundyl!

Case to case. If the zip files is the one I have downloaded or received from somebody then I do delete such after I have extracted it's content. But if the zip file is the one that I have created, then I maintain it there as long as I need it in the future, the reason why I maintain the zip file is that when I have updated the contents and want to zip it again, it is faster since the program will only change its contents because the file was already in there.

Sensible approach and useful response. Thanks a trillion!

I always delete them. I don't see any point in keeping them around when they'll just end up making my computer much slower than it already is. I make sure the file unzipped correctly and then I put it in the recycle bin. Once I'm sure everything is good, I clean out my recycling bin every few days.

i always delete zip or rar file after extracting no need to keep zip file. you receive zip file from internet because uploading many file takes time so unloader zip it make it one and upload it and zipping it make file smaller in size.

if i was to say delete the zip/rar files and the extracted files as well because all my songs are then transfered to my itunes folders and stuff, would that be okay if i wanted to transfer all of them to another computer in the near future? i.e - just copying all the itunes folders onto a external hard drive and then plugging it into the new laptop?

After I verify the contents of the zip file to ensure the files work perfectly (for those people who think that it's ridiculous because the same bad file would be in the zip file, I'm not sure if they can ever be corrupted from extraction, but I make sure just in case), I delete the file. Though I don't usually empty my recycle bin and if I ever need it within the next few months it usually just sits in my recycle bin anyways.
