info999 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 so I double-clicked a 11 GB iso file in WinRAR and I don't know where it extracted to, 11 GB of my HDD gone. Help ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp68terr Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Any idea of the name? Did you check your winrar settings? If you don't have it, try the portable version of Everything (https://www.voidtools.com/) to look for your file/lost folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlston Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Open the ISO with WinRAR. Click the "Extract To" button. Check the Destination Path at the top of the dialogue box for the extraction location. Look there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyy Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 info999...I use a great wee portable called "Everything" which is great for finding "lost" files etc on your system. I have experienced the same thing as you...extracted a RAR and it went somewhere I didn't want. I found it immediately with "Everything" because you can apply filters for the search and eliminate and narrow down the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolus Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Your file is in my magic pumpkin. If you donate a donut, I release the file. 😄 (Joke, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXentios Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Hi, if you didn't mess with the settings within WinRAR (Options => Settings => separator Paths => Folder for temporary files = C:\Windows\Temp\) that's where you'll find your ISO in a folder called Rar$ +anything. Did it a while ago and found my ISO @ C:\Windows\Temp\Rar$DIa1012.2690 but as soon as I closed WinRAR that (TEMP) folder disappear Hope it will help. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalju Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Doesn't anyone really realize so far that this is some kind of nonsense post because WinRAR will never open any file when double clicked or how many times You want click, there's no matter. After two clicks, the contents of the folder will be opened and only after selecting "Extract To ..." (like Karlston already said) will the .rar, .zip, .iso,... or any other file be opened in the specified folder. Can't search for what doesn't exist.
