How do I Delete Old Email Attachments?

[George Hanthorn]

I use Outlook 2002. When I receive an email with an
attachment, the attachment remains in a file named "OLK35"
even after the email has been permanently deleted. OKL 35
is located in my temporary internet files. I can not find
a way to delete these files. Using Symantec Cleansweep or
Windows features to delete temporary internet files does
not delete these old attachments. Any suggestions on how
to clean out this file would be appreciated.

The way I delete the folder is to open a command prompt window, CD to the
"Temporary Internet Files" folder (i.e., at the command line prompt I enter:

cd %userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

which works on a Windows 2000/XP system) and then issue the command:

del /s OLK35
