Question Recently, zip files are not getting deleted when I select and use DELETE button or select and use Right Click to delete. I use Windows Explorer usually to access my file system.
I use ZipGenius for my compression and decompression requirements. When I first faced this proble, I uninstalled ZipGenius and installed SecureZip. I had same problem SecureZip also. Now I am back to ZipGenius but the problem remains.
Answer Hello Sukhen,
Your computer is a victim of some underlying unknown infection masquerading as one of the zip files.
NB:Before you proceed, please click on the links(link 1 takes you to creator's page and link 2 download) below to download and install IZARC. http://www.izarc.org/ http://www.izarc.org/download/IZArc4b1.exe
The most reliable freeware zipping/unzipping tool that has more capabilities in comparison to other applications.

-Under "Containing text" leave blank.
-Under "Look in" click on the drop down arrow and select your hard-drive's letter.
-Then press Enter on the keyboard
-Sit back and relax and await for search results.
-Select unnecessary files and press delete.
-Once done select one and right click and select "Open With...."
