This works great with saving, after which I move the resulting zip files from the temp folder to the desired target.</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>The code I'm using is as follows:</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<div style=\"color:Black;background-color:White\">\r\n<pre><span style=\"color:Blue\">public</span> <span style=\"color:Blue\">void</span> UnZipFiles(<span style=\"color:Blue\">string</span> zipPathAndFile, <span style=\"color:Blue\">string</span> outputFolder)\r\n{\r\n<span style=\"color:Blue\">using</span> (ZipFile zip = ZipFile.Read(zipPathAndFile))\r\n            {\r\n                <span style=\"color:Blue\">foreach</span> (ZipEntry e <span style=\"color:Blue\">in</span> zip)\r\n                {\r\n                    e.Extract(outputFolder,ExtractExistingFileAction.OverwriteSilently);\r\n                }<br>&nbsp;}\r\n        }\r\n<br>The goal is to zip a huge file, send it to the server in small pieces and then unzip it on the server. <br><br>After the unziping I'm moving the resulting files and cleaning up the zip files to save space. <br><br>Its the last step that is failing. I'm deleting with Directory.Delete(target,true).<br><br>Is this some kind of bug in DotNetZip or am I missing something?<br><br>Besides this small issue all is working great.<br><br>Thank you very much. <br><br>Edit: I'm using Ionic.Zip.dll version 1.9.0.37</pre>\r\n</div>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>",

    "Html": "<p>Well, it might be a bug in DotNetZip, but I have no way to know.</p>\r\n<p>You didn't say why the Delete is failing.&nbsp; Normally there's an exception, indicating the reason it failed.&nbsp; If it's a problem with permissions, then you'll get a message to that effect. IF the problem is that the file to be deleted is still open, you'd get a message indicating <em>that</em>.&nbsp;&nbsp; I might be able to help diagnose if you provided the exception and stacktrace.</p>\r\n<p>In theory it could be that the file is still being held open by DotNetZip, preventing the delete.&nbsp;&nbsp;But I think that is unlikely.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>If I were troubleshooting this, I might see if it is possible to create the zip and then delete it, without unzipping in between.&nbsp; If you factor out the unzipping, and it can be deleted, then it points to DotNetZip as the cause.&nbsp; If you remove the unzipping, and it still cannot be deleted, then it would indicate that it is not DotNetZip.&nbsp; This wouldn't be definite, but it would be a good indication, one way or the other.</p>\r\n<p>good luck</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>",
