<span style="font-weight: bold;">It is not possible to
recover items deleted form archive</span><br>
The removal from an archive means the file or folder is actually
deleted,
not moved to recycle bin, and the data will be likely not recoverable.<br>
To delete the entire archive while it is being browsed, from dropdown
menu on the right of "Secure delete" button it is possible to select
any supported deletion function - recycle, quick delete, zeroe content
(overwrite data with 0s),
and <a href="secure-delete.html">secure delete</a>.<br>

<br>
<a name="cannot_delete_file_from_archive"></a>Some archives
cannot be updated or modified (neither adding nor removing
files) because the archive
type is read-only supported (solely for
extraction or browsing operations), so PeaZip lacking the ability to
modify archive content, data cannot be
neither added nor removed - the entire archive file item can still be
erased
from filesystem, but it will be not possible to selectively delete
compressed files from the archive.<br>
<br>
<h4><span style="font-weight: bold;">Delete files from a
RAR
archive</span></h4>
It is possible to delete files in RAR archives from PeaZip only if
WinRar is installed in the system, due rar licensing not allowing third
parts applications to implement functions to <a

(including deletion of files in existing RAR archives).<br>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Delete files form a solid
archive</span><br>
If <a href="what-is-solid-compression.html">solid mode
compression</a> is
used, as in compressed TAR archives (tar.gz / tgz, tar.bz2 / .tbz,
tar.xz...) compression of subsequent data
depends on statistical analysis of previous data - which usually brings
better compression, fine tuning the statistical analysis of the input.<br>
In this case, removing files from existing archive will result in the
need of re-compressing the whole file, which may be cumbersome: this
does not prevent the ability to edit the archive content, but it makes
the operation slower if large block size is used.<br>
