Extract RAR files from a folder and delete the archives afterwards.

Ultimate Extract and Recover is a free utility which can extract multiple RAR archives including password-protected files.

The main layout of the Ultimate Extract and Recover application is rather basic and unorganized but its features compensate for that. Ultimate Extract and Recover provides a text-based logging system to the left which prints details of its extraction process including any errors.

The configuration of Ultimate Extract and Recover includes input and output directories, the option to delete RAR files after they have been extracted and a test mode which checks whether or not all files can be extracted.

Ultimate Extract and Recover provides different statistics like the number of files processed, files not processed, elapsed time and non-fatal exceptions.

Ultimate Extract and Recover can also be used to try a list of passwords which reside in the comprehensive dictionary file. Each password will be attempted to extract a file though it isn't that fast.

Overall, Ultimate Extract and Recover can be a useful tool for extracting the contents of multiple RAR archives as well as attempting to extract password-protected files with a dictionary.
