In the bash below each .tar.bz2 (usually 2) are extracted and then the original .tar.bz2 is removed. However, only one (presumably the first extracted) is being removed, however both are extracted. I am not sure why this is? Thank you :).

The below bash will untar each tar.bz2 folder in the directory, then remove the tar.bz2.
Each of the tar.bz2 folders ranges from 40-75GB and currently takes ~2 hours to extract. Is there a way to speed up the extraction process?
I am using a xeon processor with 12 cores. Thank you :).
