Recover zip field

hello and welcome today I'm going to show you how to fix a zip file this is a zip file if we try to open it for example with WinZip you can see it fails central directory not found can it open the file doesn't appear to be about archive yeah also I only have winzip for demonstration purposes I hate the software with a passion but let's take a look at 7-zip it also cannot open it cannot open file as archive so we can't fix this and I'm going to show you four methods of fixing a zip file two of them don't work for this sub file but maybe they will work for yours and two of them work for this zip file but maybe they will not work for yours so you have to try them out until you find a solution or until you give up so here is object fixes it for example free software by which I mean freeware and we're just gonna go through the steps and we can let's see can we drag-and-drop nope we cannot we cannot drag and drop we have to press the Add button so when we do that we can just take this file as Brooke and next and we don't well let's try it let's try to test it we don't really want to repair it we really just want to extract the files but we can choose what to do so let's just press next and rich edit line insertion error that was not useful and that's it that's all we get wait wait a second yes of being a few you say you say finished okay so this is not very good for this case we have nothing in this folder even though it was created so object fix you did not work this time maybe you work for our zip files now gonna try disk internal zip repair disk internals pretty good but I don't know if it's gonna work so let's try it out we're gonna select the file can we drag and drop no we cannot drag and drop okay so we're picking the file and it immediately suggests this solution file name let's just continue oh and look at that it actually finds it actually does find like some files in there but then it shows us this what is this we don't really know we don't really know what this is well let's hope it saves it anyway and finish okay what do we get and it's even more broken than before oh boy what even is this oh wait can fix this let's see I didn't think so I did not think so nice try though I would like the partial file sure oh my goodness I am No please please stop please stop okay so do we get anything we get folders and incomplete files save these are complete so I guess it could have worked like a combination between disk internals and winzip apparently but I really don't get it why even the disk internals screw up the fixing so let's actually try one more thing let's try sorry let's try disk internals on the recovered file and you can just see how it gets worse and we have a recovered recovered file and we're gonna try using that this has no sense anymore this is just for fun hey one more one last final time here we go and it's it is it's just the worst it just got worse and worse and file got smaller and then bigger anyway these are completely useless disk internals fail the vist test so now let's move on to the solutions that actually do work we can shift right click here create a command line window here and now the thing is you have to have winzip installed and the command-line tools let me show you what the command-line tools are the ones the command line is a free plugin for winds itself so you have to install it separately and you can use it of the evaluation version so let me just show you how it works that link is in the description of course personally I don't recommend it I recommend another tool but I'm gonna show you after this but let me show you how it works in case you already had one zip basically in the command line you type this command path to the winds the location then wz z IP that file only exists if you have a command line tools installed then minus YF and then the name of your file which is as follows broke so let's just run this and then we have to press ENTER because this is the evaluation version I think that's a reason and that just starts fixing it and now we just wait okay I think it took about 20 seconds and the wonderful thing about this is it completely fixed the file where is it broke fixed here okay okay I can't stand one zip anymore let's just unzip it here we can unzip it we have settings up even and it completely works everything is in here as it should be all the frickin files better should be here or here so that is nice but if you don't want to use the command line or understandably don't want to install winds up then there's one more tool which is free and seems to be trustworthy and the tool and talking about is Z F X which is zip to fix I don't know why is that FX means is it to fix I guess zip F X anyways anyways this tool is free looks a bit like some kind of hacker software but it works so I can just select the file in here and wait and it is even faster than WinZip or zap for some reason let's check the result here this be fixed version oh I'm sorry let's just unzip it with 7-zip yep and here we go it just works perfectly as well fantastic so these are the two tools you can use on one hand winzip command-line tools on the other hand
