WinRAR - Using rar.exe command line to extract all files in all archives in a folder then delete all the...
I want to use rar.exe via command line to extract all files in all archives in a folder then delete all the archives automatically if they extracted successfully? I tried -df and -dr to no avail. Seems like those may only for deleting the files if you're adding them to an archive.
Right now I'm using (c#):
string.Format("e -p{0} "{1}" *.* "{2}"", pass, fi[n].FullName, fi[n].DirectoryName)
command-line c# rar winrar command-line-arguments

Rather than what you're doing in C#, please always show the actual commands that are called.

Seems to be the case, yes,
$ unrar --help | grep -i unrar

Usage: unrar command -switch1 -switchN archive files...
$ unrar --help | grep del
$ unrar --help | grep unlink
$ unrar --help | grep rem
... no mention of removing anything.

I guess you could do something like
Use Process class to execute rar.exe
Process.WaitForExit
Validate whether the files have been extracted
(You could just estimate size, if you want to do it quick and dirty...)
If validation passes, delete the archive
