Avoid multiple folders when extracting archives


Question

Whenever I extract an archive that has a structure like this:

ROOT

FOLDER ONE\FILES

FOLDER TWO\FILES

FOLDER THREE\FILES

They always extract as:

FOLDER ONE\FOLDER ONE\FILES

FOLDER TWO\FOLDER TWO\FILES

FOLDER THREE\FOLDER THREE\FILES

Is there any way to avoid this and just have it extract as it originally was? (I'm using 7zip btw)

Never seen this -- what specific version of 7zip are you using? Also could you post or link to a archive that does this?

When extracting, you may notice an asterisk * in the path. If so, remove it:

C:\path\*\

C:\path\

See if that solves your problem.
