Hello,
Here is one of my using tools:
'FindUnpacks', which will find all (ZIPs/RARs) which were unpacked.
You can also delete the unpacked folder and the packed file too.
Hope you find it useful.
Update v052008:

Thank you very much, IceSoft, this is a very handy utility, as I tend to test stuff out and invariably forget to clean up after myself!!
Is there a possibility for checking to see if there is a difference between the files in the archive and what has been extracted? The majority of the time, I would just delete what's been unpacked, but there are times, especially when it's code, where a sourcefile gets changed. It would mean i would not inadvertently delete something that I might have customised for myself.
Thanks again! This will reclaim lots of used space on my drive.
P.S. Like a ding-dong, I didn't pay attention to what the selection actually read, and accidentally deleted the ZIP file I wanted to keep! Also, when I selected the folder to delete, it deleted the contents of the folder, but left the folder still there. And is the checkbox selection supposed to carry on down the tree-level (i.e. if I check "Unpacked <zip> files (1)", should the ZIP file and the folder underneath be checked as well)?

That was the reason why I have written this tool.
And of course: I am a lazy unpacker.

Same on my drives.

Yes there is... but your wish is very special.

First I have to say... It did't thought there is one people who like this utility too.
1) On the todo list [done... on v0.2]
2) Works correct here. Can you tell me the path?
3) On the todo list
New version (0.2) is uploaded.
'Ding-dong' is implemented...see screenshot (red text color for deleted stuffs)

I can appreciate that checking file date/time and/or CRC together with extra folder/file handling would be a pain in the bum.
And of course: I am a lazy unpacker.
Guilty
1) On the todo list [done... on v0.2]
Thank you
2) Works correct here. Can you tell me the path?
I'm not on the machine now, but it would have been something like "c:\!Download$\7zipcommandline". I tried to test on another machine using an ordinary folder name like "E:\A\avisplit.zip" (to rule out special characters in the foldername), but after extracting to "E:\A\avisplit", it didn't report this extracted file & folder???? Now I'm confused (my normal state).
3) On the todo list
Groovy!
Testing on same machine mentioned above, it has found "Prime95.zip" sitting in a folder called "g:\!download$\Prime95", but not extracted? It has matched based on archive filename to folder name, but is not checking folder contents? If folder contents need to be checked against archive (which would add considerably to the complexity and runtime of the program) then it would be very close to my "special wish"

Great, thanks IceSoft!
Would an option to open the folder on a double-click, be of any use?
