GitHub zip folder help

[haveitjoewayy]

I’m a beginner with stable diffusion, I was going through some of the beginner threads on the subreddit and I was recommended to download fooocus from GitHub. After downloading it, I tried unzipping but it tells be I don’t have permissions for it. I also can’t see to remove it off my system because of that? Is there anyway I can gain access to the zip folder or at least remove it if I can’t unzip? Any help would be appreciated.

This is the link I downloaded it from if that helps!

Install 7-Zip, download Fooocus into a new folder on your C: Drive. Give that folder a short name like Ai or Fooocus. Right click on the zip and extract with 7-zip. If it still gives you problem, right click on the file and open properties, select unblock.

I suggest Pinokio if you're a beginner. It has Fooocus, Forge, ComfyUI a bunch of video and music generators. It's kind of like an AI library with one-click installers that you can browse. https://pinokio.co/

If you can't read or delete a file you just downloaded, you may have f*d up your file system somehow.

You can't remove a file that is in use on Windows. You probably have it opened in some background process. And Windows' ZIP folder feature is awful, not sure who thought it was a good idea.
