Deleting Files from an Archive

There are two ways to delete files from an archive:

  • Select entries in the main WinZip® window, then choose Delete from the Actions menu. You can then delete the selected file, all files in the archive, or files specified by name (standard Windows wildcards are accepted, so you could use "*.doc" to delete all .doc files).
  • Select entries in the main WinZip window, right click any selected file, and click Delete from the shortcut menu. This displays the same Delete dialog described above.

Notes:

These operations cannot be undone.

To delete an entire archive, choose Delete from the Actions menu to bring up the Delete dialog. Then choose the All files/folders in archive option and click Delete. Alternatively, you can choose Delete from the Manage Archive submenu of the File menu.
