Thats the question that I want to answer.....

What do you mean by open archive? Are you able to do that within the program mentioned in the OP?

What I meant was that there are a lot of cia's and you would typically get them in an archive [i.e. zip, rar, 7zip files etc]. A lot of archival program will let you open it and delete a file from it directly. Alternatively you could extract them to the 'updates' folder on your 3DS and then delete it, doesn't really matter as what point you do it.

I've worked out from other posts, it's not limited tonew or old, and it's not limited a specific region either.
