How to Extract Files From A Zipped (Compressed) Folder

How to Extract Files From A Zipped (Compressed) Folder

When you purchase a digital file from our website My Vinyl Direct, it will download as a Zipped Folder.

When you go to locate your folder in your downloads this is what it will look similar too.

You will need to do a few quick steps to access the files.

Do one of the following:

  1. To extract a single file or folder, double-click the compressed folder to open it. Then, drag the file or folder from the compressed folder to a new location. (I like to use this method as it helps me to stay better organized. By moving it to a new folder which I have labeled as Digital Downloads (which has sub categories inside) I always know where to find my files and I stay completely organized.
  2. To extract the entire contents of the compressed folder, right-click the folder, click Extract All, and then follow the instructions. This will move all the files to a new folder which you may want to relabel to your desired name in order to find them easily.
