How to automatically delete files after compression on WinRAR - No need to delete manually

After compressing a folder or certain data, we will delete the original file to reduce storage space on the computer. If you only compress a few single data, deleting the original file after compression will be very quick.

On WinRAR, there is an option to automatically delete the original file after successfully compressing the data. So you don't need to manually delete the file like before. The article below will guide readers how to manually delete files after compression on WinRAR.
