Expanding compressed directories and files

Expanding compressed directories and files

If you decide that you want to expand a compressed file or directory, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold or right-click the file or directory in File Explorer, and then tap or click Properties.

2. On the General tab of the Properties dialog box, tap or click Advanced. Clear the Compress Contents To Save Disk Space check box. Tap or click OK twice.

With files, Windows Server removes compression and expands the file. With directories, Windows Server expands all the files within the directory. If the directory contains subfolders, you also have the opportunity to remove compression from the subfolders. To do this, select Apply Changes To This Folder, Subfolders, And Files when prompted, and then tap or click OK.

TIP Windows Server also provides command-line utilities for compressing and uncompressing data. The compression utility is called Compact (Compact.exe). The uncompression utility is called expand (expand.exe).
