I have hundreds of folders with multi part archives inside them.

-FOLDER.1
 file.rar
 file.r00
 file.r01
 file.r02
-FOLDER.2
 file.rar
 file.r00
 file.r01

I am using the code below to extract them inside their respective folders and to remove them upon successful extraction,

flock -n locked -c "find . -name '*.rar' -execdir unrar e -o- ; -execdir rm ; && find . -name '*.r[:0-9:][:0-9:]' -exec rm ;"

The problem is if something goes wrong, lets say;

• One of the parts of the archive is corrupted,


• Files are not uploaded yet

This script deletes the multi parts even though extracting is not successful. How can improve this script so it deletes rar files and parts if extraction is successful.
I spend my whole morning to figure this out but so far no success.

The rm commands must be dependent on the result of the unrar command where in your example they are all run sequentially whatever happens.

So try something like that instead (on a test directory first!):

flock -n locked -c "find . -name '*.rar' -print0 | xargs -0 -I FILE sh -c "unrar e -o- FILE && rm FILE `basename FILE .rar`.r[:digit:][:digit:]" "

Then the rmpart is executed only if the unrarcommand finished successfully.

You will need extra quotes if your file names have spaces.
