• Deleting every archive file after the file was unzipped

  Your simplest bet in this case will likely be to use a zip utility with a file browser, and ideally one that supports QuickLook, so you can preview individual files before extracting them. I've used BetterZip for ages. I'm not sure if there's a similar freeware app that will do everything BetterZip will. - Source: Reddit / 12 months ago

  BetterZip: in Mac, you can’t natively preview zip files without uncompressing, Betterzip gives you that ability. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• Corrupt Files

  Do you have the zip files still? If so, try unzipping them with another tool like The Unarchiver or BetterZip. Any difference? We've seen that the built-in OS unzip tools on both Mac and Windows aren't always very robust and can have difficulties with ZIP-64. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago
