I have a tar.gz and a zip file, how can I delete files or folders in these zip files if wanted? I only want to keep necessary files that I will use in the future . Is that possible to do that?

Hello,

Yes, it is possible to delete files and folders in a tar.gz.

For example

the files file1 and file2 can be removed from file.tar.gz with the following:

tar -f file.tar.gz --delete file1 file2
To remove a directory dir1:

tar -f file.tar.gz --delete dir1/*
