After compressing a file, I cannot uncompress it. I have tried clicking on
the file and then right click but no extract option is shown.

What gives?

Hi Dan,

Try restore ZIP to see if it will help you.

Hi,

If you compress a file, you would only need to right click it and uncheck
the option to compress under properties/general/advanced. If you sent a file
to a compressed folder, then you'd need to look for a newly created .zip
folder, usually within the same parent folder.
