Does archive size of tar, zip and rar effect the time it takes to delete a

file from it?



Does it take a longer time to delete files from a large tar zip and rar

archive than a smaller one? I would think that for a file to be deleted

from an archive, all the data that exists after the deleted file would

have to be re-written to the archive, thus taking longer as opposed to a

smaller archive where the amount of data to re-write is less... if not,

how are these archives able to remove data from the middle of the archive

without re-writing the rest of the data?
