There are several types of use that we can give to the compressed files that we create with the corresponding programs such as WinRAR . These have been accompanying us for years to make it easier for us to work with the contents of our PC, especially if they are bulky or a large quantity.
As its name suggests, compressors focus on reducing the size of the files that we add to them. This is something that we can achieve both with a single element of this type, as we combine a good amount of these. Hence precisely, thanks to its versatility, comes to a large extent the enormous utility that these compressors and decompressors offer us. There are several programs that can be considered as benchmarks in this sector, and WinRAR is one of them.
In the beginning, when these applications began to spread in the software market, they were quite limited in terms of their functionality. They allowed us to reduce the size of the loaded content, and little else. However, over the years and their enormous growth, the functionality of these software tools has grown substantially. In fact, on many occasions they are used on the Internet to share a good number of files , in a smaller way, and included in one.
At the same time, programs such as the aforementioned WinRAR, allow us to create several of these elements in a personalized way, protect them with a password, delete content directly, etc. With everything and with this, below we will talk about an interesting functionality that will allow us to solve a rather unpleasant problem in this regard.
Repair files directly from WinRAR
And it is possible that on some occasion we have found that, when opening a tablet, it shows us an error . All this means that we will not have the possibility of accessing its content for later decompression in the disk drives. At this point, it must be taken into consideration that the file compressor itself offers us a useful function that will surely get us out of more than one trouble.
We refer specifically to the possibility of repairing those files that for some reason are damaged in order to access their content. Therefore, to benefit from this WinRAR feature, we can do it easily and almost immediately. First of all, all we have to do is open the program in a conventional way. From its user interface we find the contents of the default disk path. At that time we will have to update the units until we are in the place where the damaged file in question is stored.
It is true that, as it contains internal faults, at first we cannot carry out any type of work with it. However, we are going to try to fix it from the compressor itself . For this we will have to mark that file with errors and then take a look at the top of the main interface of the program.
In the upper right corner we will find a shortcut to this function in the form of a button that says Repair . Depending on the size of this content, the repair process will take more or less time. Once the software itself has finished, it creates a new file in the same disk path with a name similar to the original one, but in this case without errors.
