Windows retains files in quarantine for a specific period before removing them, but the exact duration varies by system and file type. It typically runs checks to detect threats, even if they aren’t executable. Since your files are compressed and you’re certain they’re safe, consider recovering them rather than deleting. The false alarm might stem from similar-looking files or recent downloads. As for the 7z format, it can store data securely without extracting unless you open the archive.
False alarms occur frequently. Submit the file for a thorough review; if approved, it may be deleted from the records.
