I've been downloading some large games, and after I unzip them, they take up double the space because it creates separate folders for the files. I heard about unrar.online and unzip.online as possible solutions, but I want to know if these sites are safe to use for extracting files.

If you really need to handle larger files, getting a decent USB drive can help! I have a 250GB SD card I use to store downloads before transferring them to my SSD or HDD.
For safety, you might want to set up an older desktop or laptop with a large HDD or SSD. Download the files there, unzip or unrar them, scan for malware, and then transfer them back to your main PC using a flash drive.
If you’re running low on space, maybe consider deleting some of the older games you no longer play. That way, you can free up enough room to extract the new ones.
Honestly, that website just converts the files from rar to zip. You still have to extract them after, so you’ll end up needing the same amount of space anyway. It seems a bit pointless to use.
I’m not sure what’s wrong here—just unzip the files and delete the original ones afterward. That should clear up some space!
I can't because I don’t have enough storage!
