Winrar To Delete The Complete Files As It Compresses?
Feb 12, 2013
So I have 42gb of priceless tv shows that are taking up too much space on my comp... What I want to do is compress these files. The only issue is that in order compress I need the room for the uncompressed AND compressed files.Is there a way I can tell Winrar to delete complete files as it is done rarring them? (Assuming winrar compresses files one at a time) That way if it were to stop suddenly like in a power outage or something the files wouldn't get deleted unless there were fully compressed... So yea I need to compress files but don't have the room to compress them...
i had all my family pics and videos in a folder sizing 32 gb, so i compressed it to a file sizing 8gb and deleted the original folder. now i want extract it but it extract's only some videos totally sizing 8gb. it gives me a diagnostic msg saying that 3 of my files r corrupt. what should i do to get my pics back, it was a huge collection of memories,
I would like to ask how to set WinRAR to exclude files with the exact filenames: 'thumbs.db' or '.DS_Store' (without the quotes, ignore case) from being extracted from an archive.Ex. Files with these filenames should not be extracted
[code]...
Abcd.DS_STORE.txt In 'Settings->Security->Prohibited file types->File types to exclude from extracting', if I just type in 'thumbs.db .DS_Store' (without the quotes) in the field, will it work the way I described? Also, does anyone know if WinRAR has a syntax guide for the Prohibited file types list in case I'd like to add more filenames or be flexible with the rules I need?The reason for this question, is I'd like to not extract unnecessary files from ZIP, RAR or 7z archives in Windows 7 - files like Windows 2000/XP's Thumbs.db file (Thumbnail cache) and Mac OS X' .DS_Store file (Desktop Services Store), while not being too strict and also not extracting files which just contain 'Thumbs.db' or '.DS_Store' in its filename.

All of a sudden, when I open a previously opened Word document, many of the sentences and paragraphs all get compressed together, in a black mass. A whole paragraph gets jammed into the space of two characters.
I've downloaded the ethernet etc, and graphics drivers and put them into .rar files.I also downloaded winrar and tried putting the .exe as a data file (all files on one disc) so i could install that, then the drivers, but the exe doesn't even appear on the disc so i cannot install anything. cannot put the downloaded .exe of winrar on disc to install on another machine, doesn't even show, and as such drivers are useless.
I keep getting an error when running a windows 7 backup. it backs up to a linux server on the network. network sharing is correct. At the very end of the backup it says some files were skipped. when i check on the linux server the hard drive is full of files so it has access so I don't think it is a network problem.
I had a look at the log files in "C:WindowsLogsWindowsBackup" at the file "Backup Files 2010-02-07 190008_error.txt". It says "Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:WindowsSystem32configsystemprofileWebsites. Error: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002)".
I have made a Library in my Library folder called websites containing website files.
This is a very weird problem. Anytime i download .rar files from the internet, it doesn't seem to matter if its a set of 50, 200mb files. or single files that ar anywhere from 40-100mbs i get completely random CRC errors in those files.
Example 1: I downloaded a set of 57 200mb files, and files 08,10,11,12,24, and 36 are corrupted. However if i re-download those files i will have a different set of corrupted files.
Example 2: I download a set of random sized files anywhere from 40-100mbs each all single files not .001 style setup of rar files. perhaps 2 or 3 of those files will have files inside that are corrupted. However if i wait a short while, and retry rarely but sometimes, they actually work, and do not seem to be corrupted. Sometimes after 3 or 4 tries they are still corrupted.
Example 3: I had a set of files totaling around 8gigs and i decided to pack them up. So i compressed them in rar format. to double check my work, i uncompressed them immediately and used them. they worked fine. around a month later i needed those files again and i uncompressed them again. around 4 of the files were corrupted. Every time i unrar them its the same files that are corrupted.
Many files have been downloaded off of rapidshare but not all.
I have already updated all my drivers to the latest including BIOS drivers I have tried this problem on Winrar and 7zip same problem on both. I have been advised my problem could be having a messy registry so i have used registry cleaners to no luck.
My current system setup is:

An unspecified error occurred during System Restore (0x80071a91) The error code has just changed to the above.
I have 64 bit windows 7. I deleted dungeon siege 2 using the control panel, remove program. It was removed except for one file in Program files x86/microsoftgames/dungeonSiege2. I tried manually deleting it but get this "the action can't be completed because the folder or file in it is open in another program. Close folder or file or retry" There is nothing open. I clicked properties of the file and security and clicked administrator and get the same message. Never had this problem removing remnants of programs in xp.
I tried to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 but I couldn't do it so I went to the folder location and started deleting it folder by folder and when I got to this folder called ActiveX with 4 DLL's in it called (AcroIEHelper.dll AcroPDF.dll GbDetect.dll pdfshell.dll) so I dragged them to the desktop and tried to delete them again with no luck.

I'm told that the file is open somewhere else but I don't understand where. How do I delete it?
Just about every time I try to permanently delete a large file or folder, either by shift/delete or emptying the recycle bin the operation hangs up.The little window opens and it counts up the size of the file and that it. Nothing else overtly happens. The status bar never starts indicating and the window just sits there with the little green lights chasing each other across it. If I try to cancel or close the window it nothing happens.During the time all this is going on, I can hit ctrl/alt/del and select Task Manager and it simply goes back to the desktop with this window still squatting there doing it's thing. I have pinned TM to the task bar and tried starting it from there but it never starts. Eventually everything just slows to a stop and nothing works which would seem to indicate some kind of memory leak. There are no error messages during any of this.I have to hit reset and restart the computer that way in order to regain control and we all know how bad an idea this is. I've already had my boot sector eaten once causing me to have to do a total rebuild and I'd prefer not to have to do it again.
I am having a peculiar issue with MKV files - when I attempt to rename or delete these files I am (sometimes) presented with the following error message:
In order to rename the offending MKV files I need to boot into Ubuntu (using a Live OS from CD) and if I want to delete the files I either must use Ubuntu or a "file unlocking program" within Windows (the FileAssassin tool that ships with MalwareBytes is my current preference).
I'm trying to clean up an external drive by deleting various files (using Windows Explorer) but like every file gives me "an unexpected error is keeping you from deleting the file error 0x80070570".
Now for some reason I can delete the files using del in the command prompt.But I need to delete hundreds of specific files scattered around, so I need to figure out how to get around this error.I don't want to chkdsk etc on the external either. I just want to bypass the error.
I have about 5 MKV files that I can not delete or rename or move. I can copy them, but then the copies will not be deletable at wherever I paste them. I have tried running as an administrator and "taking ownership", but still can not delete them. They are all .MKV if that matters. I am on Win 7 home 64.
my os is Windows 7 32bit,lately i was unable to delete my files in my seagate portable harddisk. wen i tried to delete, on right clicking the files there isnt the 'delete' option
So, lately my Windows 7 started acting weird. I'm not able to delete or rename files that I have used recently. Let's say I run File.exe, close it and I want to delete/rename this file. Sometimes I'm trying to do that I get error about something that couldn't delete file because it's in use. It also happens with auto patchers in games, system denies to delete/modify items. Happens with compiler aswell, they're not able to over-write output file. I'm not going to post screenshot since it doesn't happen always and I don't really know how to reproduce this, but it's regular error box with message similar to "Couldn't delete file. File is in use/opened by some process." or something like that with 2 buttons "Retry" and "Cancel". Current solution for that is Log off/Reboot or use application called "UnLocker" (I found it via Google some time ago)
I have Win 7 32 bit and under C:windows emp I have about 30 files starts with etilqs total size of 2GB.which application create these files and if I can delete them from my PC ?
When I u/g to 7 from Vista it left a bunch of folder on each partition of my hard drive. They were prefixed by the $ sign.They are large - many Gbs and I want to get rid of them.When I try to delete them I get the usual UAC window asking for permission, which I give, but then I get a window saying that i have to get permission from PBS - OFFICE - PCPBS.I am signed on as administrator and further checking with whoami.exe shows that I am PBS - OFFICE - PCPBS.I have given PBS - OFFICE - PCPBS ownership and full control privileges via Properties/security/owner tabs but I still get this problem.Why do I need permission to delete when it is telling me that the permission is needed from ME???? If I am logged on as PBS - OFFICE - PCPBS - according to whoami, why is it still telling me that I need permission from myself?
I had a dualboot of Windows 7 and Windows XP. Later I just only wanted to have Windows 7. So I downloaded Vista Boot Manager and deleted Windows XP on the list, so now its only booting from Windows 7. But all those files of Windows XP are still left on the partition. And I have no access to delete them, not even in a save boot. Unlocker helped me a while, but I'm now stuck with 3 folders which I can't delete. I've got now 50 GB left on my HDD, and the partition of Windows XP was 200 GB, so I think you can realize I want those GB back!
I want to delete all the files/folders with a certain name like the __MACOSX folders that comes with many icon packs.Is there a tool or script that can do that?I think there should a command-line instruction to do this but i couldn't find it.
I have this problem for a few months, but never thought of solving it till now. I run windows 7, but I decided to install XP along with Windows 7, so now I have 2 operating systems; I had many problems with XP so I decided to re-install windows 7 (custom installation), so the XP is no longer present.
But now every time I start my PC this screen appears: How can I stop this screen from appearing?

I have Win 7 RC machine and i connect via network to a XP machine. I find myself unable to delete files from the XP machine. Trying to delete any file (either by shift+del or right click>delete) results in the file transfer window suck in the 'calculating' stage.
I am not sure what went off because till today it used to work like a charm. Any help would be appreciated!
Wonder if anyone knows of some freeware software that can permanently delete selected files/folders?..rather than just sending them to the recycle bin because we all know they don't really get deleted....just get made invisible so they dont show up anymore and still actualy take up some disk space.
