I often download zipped files for games and other programs, and after I unzip them, I notice that there are usually extra files that remain on my system. For example, games often save progress and related files onto my C drive, and I want to know how I can identify these leftover files after unzipping. I'm using Windows 11 and WinRAR to unzip my files. Can someone guide me on how to track down these files and delete them if needed? Thanks!

Yeah, most games create save files in your system once they’re unzipped, and they’re usually not limited to just the unzipped folder. To keep track of them, you can try using software that helps manage installed programs and their files. Also, after installing a game, try checking the installation directory and your C drive thoroughly, especially in folders like Program Files or Documents. Good luck!
It sounds like the issue isn’t with the unzipping itself but instead with the game installer or the game that's been set up. When you unzip a game that’s ready to play, it might generate save files or additional data in other locations automatically. You could check your user directory, especially in the Documents or AppData folders, where many games store their settings and saves.
