-- 25or6to4 --

Due to the amount of hard drive being about to burst, I downoladed and
started using WinZ (I liked Windows compression better -- but the amount I
mark for backing up gives out and the compression shuts off)
In using the WinZip, it will take the files for storage, however, the VERY
files I'm trying compression, is still listed ?
Shouldn't these be "moved" and disappear after the compression ??
Seems like the way described about just asks the drive to accept more.

Thanks to anyone who can help
 
No. The original files that you zip up are left behind as expected behaviour.
If you want to 'move' them to another folder, you could zip that elsewhere,
and delete the folder.

By default, WinZip leaves the files behind. Instead,
check to Move the files instead of Add the files and
it'll delete them when it's done. You can do the same
with Jobs you create also. Adding files to a zip
leaves the old ones on the drive; Moving the files to
zip deletes the originals. It zip, verifies, and then
deletes the originals; classic operation.

If you should forget and use Add, when Winzip is done,
you'll usually still have all the files highlighted you
originally highlighted, so if they're all in that one
folder, just press Delete or Shift-Delete to kill them
off.
