I'm struggling with a zip file that's about 48GB, but I only have around 12GB of free space on my device. Is there any way to transfer some files out of the zip file and delete them as I go? I'm open to alternative methods too since this zip file contains a game. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, you won't be able to unzip the file without enough space for all 48GB of it. You really need enough storage to handle the entire extraction before you can do anything with the contents.
Yeah, I feel your pain! It’s just not possible to extract it without space.
Even if you managed to extract part of the zip, you'd still face the issue of where to store those files. With only 12GB free, there's just no room for the unzipped content.
Aww man, that's frustrating! Are there any types of files you know that usually take up a lot of space?
