SYMPTOMS

When you copy or move an uncompressed folder containing any files into a compressed folder more than once, you create multiple copies of the files inside the uncompressed folder within the compressed folder.

If you delete one copy of any file inside the uncompressed folder within the compressed folder, all copies of the file are deleted.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, move any files you want to delete from inside the uncompressed folder within the compressed folder to the desktop before you delete the files.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Plus! 98, version 1.0.
