Every email attachment in Microsoft Outlook, when sent or downloaded, leaves temporary files on your Windows PC. These temp files get stuck in the temporary files folder. It is very important to delete these temp files not just to clear up disk space and improve performance but also to avoid any kind of data theft risk.
The temp files used in viewing or adding an email attachment are all stored in the subdirectory of temporary internet files on your PC. If anyone has access to that folder, they can see your sensitive information. Also, if there are lots of temp files clogging your PC, you might not be able to open or download any more of your Outlook email attachments.
While we can always manually delete the temporary internet files from our PC, it is always helpful to use a third-party application like OutlookTempCleaner, a free utility that can help you do this easily. With Outlook Temp Cleaner, you can locate the secure temporary files folder and easily delete the temp files, thereby making Microsoft Outlook run smoothly.
