    Hi all,

    Just wondering if it's possible to make winrar delete (permanently) the rar archives (001, 002, etc. etc.) after the extraction of the package has completed?

    Or if not, does anyone know of a workaround, or alternative software that WILL do this?

    Thanks

    Could be wrong but not that I know of. Pretty drastic for someone wanting to look for deleted rars on a harddrive. Anyway, lot's of freebies, here's one: http://www.heidi.ie/node/6 Edit: here's one I use when I reformat (free version) in case of viri (?), etc: http://www.killdisk.com/
