Does this edit the original ZIP in place?

No. The ZIP on your disk is never modified. The tool always produces a new trimmed copy, so the source file is safe even if you change your mind about a selection.

Can I remove a whole folder at once?

Yes. Ticking a folder checkbox selects every file beneath it. The indeterminate state shows when only some children of a folder are selected.

How much smaller will the trimmed ZIP be?

The summary row shows the uncompressed size that will be dropped. The final compressed output is usually proportionally smaller; exact savings depend on how well the removed files were already compressed.

Does it work on encrypted ZIPs?

No. Decrypt with Unlock ZIP first, then remove entries here. The tool only handles plain (unencrypted) ZIP archives.
