I'm running Windows 10, for context. I recently got a 131GB rar archive, and I want to extract the whole thing to my harddrive because the files aren't properly accessible otherwise. However, my harddrive only has 14GB of space left after getting this archive. Is there a way to use 7zip so that it extracts the files out of the rar archive and then deletes them immediately afterwards to make space for the rest of the extracted files? I want it to extract file 1, delete file 1 from the archive, extract file 2, delete file 2 from the archive, ect.
