[R] Need help to unzip files in Windows

[Anas Jamshed]

sir after that I want to run:
#get the list of sample names
GSMnames <- t(list.files("~/Desktop/GSE162562_RAW", full.names = F))

#remove .txt from file/sample names
GSMnames <- gsub(pattern = ".txt", replacement = "", GSMnames)

#make a vector of the list of files to aggregate
files <- list.files("~/Desktop/GSE162562_RAW", full.names = TRUE)


but it is not running as after running utils::untar(FILE, exdir =
dirname(FILE)) it creates another 108 archieves
