    ZIP folders issue: "The specified directory is empty so compressed zipped folders cannot...


    I am having issues with ZIP folders. A 3rd party engineering software lets you saves back ups and it automatically compresses the file into a new zip folders and saves in the C: drive. I keep getting the error of: "The specified directory is empty so compressed zipped folders cannot add it to the archive" When I look at the zip is shows a size of 2.9MB.I have tried already to shorten the path and it did not work. Any advice is appreciated it. Windows Edition: Windows Server 2022 Standard

    Folders with zip files

    I have like 30 or more folders and everyone of them has only one single zip file.
    How can I extract all zip files inside of all folders?
