+      - If you turn keep_archives on (default: false), packaged files (rar, zip, 7zip, etc.) are not removed
+      - This may be helpful if you use a tool such as [unpackerr](https://github.com/Unpackerr/unpackerr) that can handle it
+      - However, you may also find that these packages may contain bad/malicious files (which will not removed by decluttarr)
