you
hello well um I get a lot of questions
about how to unzip compressed files so
as I often send out quite a lot of my
files in a compressed format I thought
I'd do this quick video on how to unzip
or uncompress file folders I hope you
enjoy it and I hope it helps there's two
ways of identifying a compressed folder
or a zipped folder one is that the icon
will have a zip on it and you'll see the
difference when we've completed this
extraction process the other way is to
look at the file type so if you've got a
detailed view in your file folder
settings you can see there it says
compressed a zipped file so you want to
extract all of the information from that
folder that's very very simple right
click on the icon and you'll see a new
menu come up click on extract all in
some computers it might say unzip
they're essentially the same thing once
you click on that you'll get a dialog
box which will ask you where you would
like to save the unzipped folder just
choose whatever you want it to be it can
even be the same folder that you're in
right now you also have another option
you can choose to go straight to the
extracted files or you can leave it
unchecked and you will then see both
files side-by-side so that's what I've
done and I just click on extract and
there you can see side-by-side
there's your unzipped folder and then to
the left you can see your zipped folder
now you can delete the unzipped folder
if you want for going forward but either
way you've got what you wanted which was
to unzip and uncompress that information
so you're now ready to use the files in
that folder
