Is there a way to get the files from zipped files?

Asked By Leslie Joshuaa 10 points N/A Posted on - 08/21/2012

Hello,

I have received a zipped file having number of images and subfolders (can trace by opening the file in WinRAR), but on unzipping the file (right click->extract here), I got this "Error: The achieve is either in unknown format or damaged".

I tried extracting the files from WinRAR interface, but got the empty extracted folder.

Is there any way to get the files from such zipped files?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Leslie,

The message means that the file is damaged or corrupt. You can either download the file again or use

tools to scan for recoverable files before they were in the Winrar folder and try and retrieve them.

You could also consider trying Advanced RAR repair software.

For recovery you may choose any one tool from the one's below:

1. PC tools file recover — https://us.norton.com/norton-utilities
