archive.php should be in the folder of your theme ( /wp-content/themes/your_theme/ ), besides the other php files.
the issue is that the archive is probably using ‘the_excerpt()’ to show the short form of the post (and that is probably not clearing out the adsense code)
if you have located archive.php, edit the_excerpt() into the_content('read more')

I hate to bother you again but I went to my cpanel and then to file manger I can’t find the archive php. I looked in the theme but still couldn’t find it. I know this must seem simple to you but it is kicking my butt.
Thanks for your help
Go to Site Admin, or ‘yoursite.com/wp-admin’, then on the left menu go from Appearance > Editor, on the right you should see ‘Archives’ – click on it, and you can edit it there..

Make a copy of your theme’s index.php file and name this new copy archive.php.

one more question then I’ll leave you alone. I found where it said what
alchymyth said can I just chane it in the index php or do I have to make a new folder?
You can replace the_excerpt() with the_content() in your theme’s index,.php file directly.
