Is there a program that deletes files from a file you wana extract as soon as the data gets extracted?
Having to extract a file every time you download one always ocupies dubble of what you need so I was wondering if there's any program that deletes automaticaly the files from (for example) a .rar file as soon as something gets extracted.

JDownloader2, a download manager, automatically extracts archives and discards them. This feature is customizable. I have no need for the feature, though. I have a disciplined mind. As soon as I'm done downloading, I move the files out of the Downloads folder and into an appropriate, tamper-protected location.
I would recommend making it a custom bash function instead of a script, it's more portable
I think it's a tick box on a lot of the main extractors.
