 * 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.

 * You can replace `the_excerpt()` with `the_content()` in your theme’s index,.php
   file directly.
