ZIP, RAR, and 7z files exist for one reason: transferring files. Once you extract them, the archive is useless. AutoShelf watches your folders and deletes archive files the moment they arrive or right after extraction.

// how it works
Tell AutoShelf to watch for .zip, .rar, .7z, .tar, .gz, and .bz2 files in your folders.
Send archives to the Trash immediately, or move them to an archive folder if you want a second look.
Every archive file gets handled the moment it arrives. Your disk stays clean, your folders stay organized.
// built-in templates
AutoShelf's Auto-delete Archives template handles the most common formats with one click.

Set a delay so archives are only deleted after a few minutes. Useful if you need the archive file for re-extraction.
Keep archives from specific sources. For example, auto-delete random ZIPs from Downloads but keep ZIPs from your projects folder.
Not ready to delete? Move archives to a designated folder instead. Review them later when you need disk space.
Enable confirmation to review each archive before it gets deleted. You stay in control while AutoShelf handles the routine.
