Cancel while extracting large VM Images split into multiple files #762

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Hi my colleague passed me a VMWare Image which was compressed with 7z, split 
into multiple smaller parts. Each of the file is 734MB and we have 96 of them. 
I used The Unarchiver version 3.9.1 to uncompressed the files, but after a few 
hours my Mac Book ran out of battery and the system went into sleep mode. 

When it came back online I decided to cancel the decompression as I wanted to 
move the  zipped image to my external storage where I have more space. However, 
once I quit the unarchiver, I realized that the my available disk space was 
significantly lesser than before I started the decompression. I am assuming 
that The Unarchiver used temporary files for the decompression. 

Where can I find these temporary files from my system so that I can delete them 
and reclaim back the space? 

I am using Mac OSX 10.9.4. Sorry that I cannot attach the VM Image as they are 
simply too huge, but I can attach a screen shot of the original folder.

Please help. Thank you so much.

If it's working right, just starting it again should delete the temporary files 
automatically. If not, they are in a hidden folder starting with a dot in the 
same directory as the extracted files.
