I compressed the file using 7zip and now when i try to open it with 7z file manager it says cannot open its not an archiver. when i extract , i get a fille which cannot be open , it just like an object. I don't have original files , just these archives and they are multiple. I tried repairing the file with Winrar , it says header is corrupt.

    Maybe file was corrupted while transferring or storing.
    Think about all operations you did with that file (like copying from one storage to another). And try to find the reason of corruption.
    Recovering could be difficult or impossible in most cases.

    You can open 7z archive file is hex viewer to check first 48 bytes for 7z archive signatures.
