Error in unziping files and then deleting files in the zip

Hello,

I have this following code for choosing a folder then deleting some files in specific size

files = fullfile(matlabroot, '\toolbox');
if ~exist(files, 'dir')
	files = matlabroot;
end
uiwait(msgbox('Pick a folder on the next window that will come up.'));
selpath = uigetdir(files);
if selpath == 0
	return;
end
unzip(selpath)
files = dir(selpath);
deletedfiles = 0;
for itr = 1:length(files)
    if files(itr).bytes<200000 && ~files(itr).isdir 
        files.name
        delete(fullfile(files(itr).folder, files(itr).name))
        deletedfiles=deletedfiles+1;
    end
end
deletedfiles

But i got error in the unziping part.

Error in cobacoba (line 10)
unzip(selpath)

Any ideas what should I do?

As its documentation clearly states, unzip's first input argument needs to be the name of a zip file.

selpath is not the name of a zip file.

can I choose the files I want to zip with it?

"can I choose the files I want to zip with it?"

You can choose the file that you unzip with unzip, e.g. using uigetfile.

[Oktavian Jason]

okay, so can I get the .zip using uigetfile then unzip it using unzip?

Yes.
