The zip folder is corrupted
When decompressing the file, there is a [zipped folder error, access denied], you need to install the decompression software in the system to open it normally, and you also need to confirm whether the file is damaged, many times the reason for this error is that the compressed package is incomplete, such as the compressed package from other places is not complete, just try again. In addition, there is a solution to open it as an administrator, and some compression software can not be opened as an administrator if you directly right-click the compressed package, such as 7-zip, you can find the 7-zip software first, select [Run as administrator], and then find this compressed package for decompression operation.
The file path is too long or the file name contains special characters:
Problem Description:When the file path in the zip file is too long or the file name contains special characters, it may cause errors in the extraction process.

Avoid special characters: Make sure that the file name does not contain special characters, such as slashes, question marks, asterisks, etc.
Use other file compression software
Folders can also be compressed using other compression software. Take Hi Format Compression Master as a demonstration, the following are the specific operation steps:
Step 1, open the installed [Hi Format Compression Master], you can see five types of compression, including **compression, **compression, pdf compression, word compression and PPT compression, choose the corresponding type according to personal needs, such as the "**compression" function.

Step 3: Then set the compression mode on the right side, mainly including normal compression, clarity priority, extreme compression, and custom compression parameters by bitrate or file size. If you want to compress the file to a smaller size, you can enter a required parameter according to the file size, but too small will also affect the image quality and clarity, so it is recommended that you compress it to a reasonable range.
Step 4, after the above are set, click the "Start compression" button, wait a while to complete the file compression, you can directly see the file size before and after compression in the interface, if you feel that the compressed size does not meet your needs, you can also repeat the above steps to compress again.
