Originally posted by **Bavarianviking72** March 7, 2023 Hello everyone, I have a massive amount of Zip Files from Google Takeout. When I try to run the script it just stops after 5-15 unzips with a error message. So this is too cumbersome to do by hand. So I got myself Winrar and unzip all the 250+ zips to a folder. How can I now run the last part of the Script without doing any harm to the data. Last time I did it - it deleted all the data which I copied into the scripts unzip folder. So that doesn't do what I wanted. ;-) Best Regards Bjarne

moved this to issue

@Bavarianviking72

error message

please show the error message here then

it deleted all the data

it doesn't delete anything, just moves them to output folder you specified - look at it

but, as the interactive doesn't seem to always work, i should post more details on how to run manually. will do that soon
