How do I change .jar files back into .zip files?!

[Undead_Gamer]

I am building a new modpack and when I test it I got an eror saying that "The directories below appear to be extracted jar files. Fix this before you continue." For some reason I got the bright idea to export my .zip files into .jar files, then I found out that Java doesn't like that. I'm trying to figure out how to change them back into zip files. The report says what the mods are but I don't have any of those mods in my mods folder that are .zip. I'm sorry, I know I'm a noob, but if someone could help me that would be appreciated! Thx!
