In either of the above discussed scenarios, you might get annoyed because of this strange behavior. Although the automatic deletion feature is by default disabled in WinRAR, if your files are still automatically getting deleted right after the successful completion of the compression process, the most likely reason can be that the automatic deletion feature has been turned on either deliberately by some other user, or through any third-party application automatically.

The reason why such feature is made available in WinRAR is to prevent the unnecessary consumption of disk space that would otherwise be consumed if the original files still remained on the computer even after they are compressed and a separate file is created that contains the original contents. This being said, WinRAR also has a feature which, when enabled, automatically deletes the original contents after they are compressed. Although there are several other file compressors available in the market, WinRAR is the one that is still used by most end-users due to its easy-to-use interface and various compression methods that the application provides.Īpart from the compression methods and easy-to-use interface, WinRAR also allows users to set various parameters while compressing the contents in order to make the entire compression process more sophisticated, secure, and efficient.

WinRAR is a software application that is highly in demand nowadays.
