Compressed folders merge multiple files into a single file, compressing them so they take up less storage space. This is helpful when sharing files, as many email providers limit sending and receiving file sizes.
You can view a compressed folder as you would view a normal folder. You have the option to open files directly from a compressed folder or move files out of a compressed folder to save or edit them.
Double-click a compressed folder.
The files appear in File Explorer.
Click to highlight a file.
Click the Extract tab.
The Extract To group includes recently used folders.
Click the group's More button if the desired folder isn't listed.
OR
Select a folder to move your folder or file to, if listed.
