Move from archive

This may be a silly question, but anyway..

As I use TC quite a lot to manage files in and out of archives, I stumble upon the fact that F6 is not working in archives. I can move files into an archive, but not out of it.
Am I missing something or is it really not possible?

It's not a big deal as I can copy and than delete, but it would be a nice feature.

It's because it would invlove two separate operations: Unpacking, then repacking the archive for deletion. Most external unpackers can't do this in one step, and it's not possible to check whether unpacking was 100% successful, so TC doesn't combine these two steps into one.

Just restore the selection after unpacking with "/" on the numeric keypad, and then delete the files.
