PeaZip: option to delete archives after extraction?

IN PeaZip where is the option to automatically delete (or move to another folder) archives after successful extraction?

Don't Think There Is

I don't think there is any such option from my quick perusal of the Options screen.

Hmmm, yes, I would say so as

Hmmm, yes, I would say so as well, but I cannot imagine, that such an important option is not available.

If you have 100 files in about 1000 archives and for 3 of the files after extracting there are shown errors, they are not extracted, how do you find the archives of the 97 files being extracted correctly you can delete?

if you don't like it don;t use it

ffs, grow up. It is not compulsory to use a tool just because it is available.

have you fixed your file system yet? if your disk is healthy you won't have extraction problems as a rule.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Important To You

It helps to remember that while a given feature may be important to you, it may not be to the developers or other users. So, asking the developers (nicely) would be your next step.

Personally, in the decades I've used compression utilities, I've never once used that option nor was I even aware it was available on some clients. For my use cases, I'd never use it even if it were available. But, that's just me. Others may use it and benefit from it if the PeaZip developer implemented it.

Yes, that's true, indeed. What does "ffs" mean?

<<<have you fixed your file system yet?
Well, well, I have tried to, but...

<<<if your disk is healthy you won't have extraction problems as a rule.
OK.

Thanks again.

Also, what you are asking for is destructive

If you are asking what I think you are then you must realise that the archive will be altered and cannot ever be the same. You may fetch it again but that might not be the same archive.

I have lost the point of your enquiry.

I expect you have lost the point too.

Let us know when your disk is healthy.
