What is a .7Z.002 file?
A .7Z.002 file is a part of a split archive made using the 7-Zip program. Think of it like a book divided into several volumes. This file is like the second volume of that book. To read the whole story (or in this case, to see all the files in the archive), you need the first volume, which would be a file named .7Z.001, and any other volumes that come after it, like .7Z.003, .7Z.004, and so on, depending on how many parts the archive has been split into.
To work with a .7Z.002 file, you need it to be together with its other parts. Imagine trying to read a book but only having the middle section - you'd miss the beginning and the end. It's the same with these files; you need all parts to access the complete content.
You can open a .7Z.002 file with programs like 7-Zip, which is free and works on Windows computers. There are also other programs like B1 Archiver, Smith Micro StuffIt Deluxe, and The Unarchiver that can open these files on different types of computers, including Macs.
When you use 7-Zip to make an archive, you can choose to split the compressed files into several parts. This is useful if the files are very large and you want to make them easier to download or store on devices with limited space. The first part of such a split archive will end in .7Z.001, and the parts that follow will have higher numbers in their extensions, like .7Z.002 for the second part, .7Z.003 for the third, and so on. To access the files inside, you'll need to gather all the parts and use one of the mentioned programs to open them.
