| S Aug 28, 2023 at 17:15 | comment | added | Blindspots♦ | I’m voting to close this question since it hinges on the unsupported assumption that the archives are intended to be merged. It also isn't clear if the files are actual duplicates nor their properties & source. Feel free to edit the question to be considered for reopening after reviewing the feedback in this comment as well as the ones above. | |

The question lacks any detail about each archive's structure/contents, the reason why you merged them, & what exactly was overwritten. I suggest taking a step back to do additional research on your end. eg. Extract each archive to its own folder. Are they self-contained? Is there more than one with an index.html file in the top folder? Comparing the archive contents/folder structure (DIF) may help you as well. It's unclear the method you used to extract & merge the files but FB could easily build their archives to trigger it automatically if it was the intended behavior.

Then edit your post to be a practical question about using a web app. What data were you expecting? What did you select for download? What was the size of each Zip file? Was something missing? What files were duplicated? Why do you think some of your data was corrupted? Note that questions about whether or not Facebook's DB is convoluted or "why" they make certain design decisions are off topic. | |
