A .7Z.016
file is a split 7-Zip archive file, part 16 of the archive. 7-Zip is a free and open-source file archiver that uses the 7z file format. 7z files can be split into multiple parts to make them easier to transfer or store.
7z files offer several advantages over other archive formats, such as zip and rar. They have a higher compression ratio, which means they can compress files more efficiently. They also support AES-256 encryption, which makes them a good choice for storing sensitive data.
