    I have this file in a winrar file that I want to delete. When I tried deleting it, it has to copy everything inside the winrar before the file is delete. I don't want to extract my files, then delete the file and then extract it again. I want to keep a as a winrar file because I can set a password on it. it will take a long tim to unzip and zip. The file size is 8GB
    How can I delete the file in a winrar?
    Love you.

    I asumme you downloaded this zip folder and would like to upload and share? But you don't to show that you uploaded it by setting a password and also deleting the file might be a txt file which shows which site you got it from?

    If that's the case, then [correct me if I'm wrong] I think you do need to extract in order to delete that file and to be able to set a password.

    If it's what I'm saying is correct in the first part you want to share. As it's 8GB - wouldn't it be easier to make a torrent? You can always add your name - rename the file.

    ^what the difference is click and extract and rezip vs going to ur friends door, ring the bell, punching the guy out, going to his room, knocking out his grandma along the way, unplug the cables, carrying the pc back to ur car, kick his dog along the way, knock guy out again, put pc in your trunk and driving back to your house. unless you live in with the guy. so you are still the bigger ass dood :trollface:

    No, the winrar file is personal. I don't want anyone to open it when someone is using my computer. So, I'm using winrar to set a password on that file. I don't want to extract everything in the folder just to delete a file.

    SEX TAPE!!! lol. I joke.
    I'm sure no one would do something that stupid. Except for you of course:xd:
     
  16. Lol, yes i know it has a feature that you can set your password. I was simply asking if you're using this method as a way to keep your files and folders private from other users of your computer.


    If that's the case, read this http://ask-leo.com/can_i_passwordprotect_a_folder.html

    Wouldnt it just be easier to extract > delete > zip?

    It could of been done by now
     
  18. wtf.. Flowers gota sex tape!? someone hack that shizz!

    I think you can double click the archive and go files delete on the select file. However, it might have to rebuild the archive and take some time. Rar 8gb worth is a lot. You should try breaking it in 2 parts 4gb each so its easier to unrar.
     
  19. the content is 8gb..

    8gb of pronz :trollface:
