  • Then choose the “Extract” option from the “Compressed Folder Tools” panel which can be viewed at the extreme top of your display screen.
  • After that, select “Extract all” option from the Extract tab.
  • Now choose the “Extract” button from the new popped up window. If you wish to extract the files from the desired folder at some specific location or file, then select the “Browse” option and choose the desired location where you wish to save your extracted files.
