In using the WinZip, it will take the files for
storage, however, the
VERY files I'm trying compression, is still listed ?
Shouldn't these be "moved" and disappear after the
compression ??
Seems like the way described about just asks the
drive to accept more.

Thanks to anyone who can help

By default, WinZip leaves the files behind. Instead,
check to Move the files instead of Add the files and
it'll delete them when it's done. You can do the same
with Jobs you create also. Adding files to a zip
leaves the old ones on the drive; Moving the files to
zip deletes the originals. It zip, verifies, and then
deletes the originals; classic operation.

If you should forget and use Add, when Winzip is done,
you'll usually still have all the files highlighted you
originally highlighted, so if they're all in that one
folder, just press Delete or Shift-Delete to kill them
off.
