Windows 10: Can you shrink a zip file while extracting it?

I am using a Windows 11 PC and need to extract a zip file. However, after extraction the files will be a total of 80 GB. The zip file is 76 GB before extraction. In total, after extraction this would have used 156GB on my disk. I only have ~120GB of free space. So, is there a way so that when I extract files from a zip file, it will shrink the zip? What I mean is that when I extract 1GB from the zip, it will shrink the zip folder by 1 GB.

Extracting Zip Files


Are the step-by-step processes identical? That is, the folder extracted from and the folder extracted to belong to the same hierarchical file system structure. If they are, that suggests mildly the Cumulative Update left an electron or two out of place.

 

Extracting Zip Files

Thanks pyramid10 for your contribution, I ensured that the steps taken and the source and destination folders were the same, in the using zip7 as suggested by BunnyJ resolved all issues for me.
I am the first to admit that I am a long long way from understanding the intricacies of computers and if truth be told I am now to old anyway to absorb much information.
Cheers.

 

large zip file does not extract properly

Thanks for the suggestions Babu but ........

Tried clean boot - extraction fails

Start up in safe mode - extraction fails

The extraction feature works fine on small zip files but clearly gets severe indigestion when faced with an 11gb zip file. 7 zip works perfectly.

The memory load during windows extraction attempts does not change from base levels, but the hard drive is really working hard. On one occasion after 15 minutes th windows extraction program did attempt to show the extracted files screen with a folder with
the name of the folder being extracted but on clicking that to see any enclosed files it crashes , screen goes black briefly and it resets to the normal windows desktop view.
