Things were getting very slow on my PC when saving attachments from Outlook 
(it would take 10 seconds to save even a small file), I thought the culprit 
was probably a load of files in some temp folder somewhere.  So I did the 
standard disk cleanup thing, checked all the boxes, also internet settings 
remove temporary files, and recovered 20GB(!) in total.  But still it's just 
as slow.  So I viewed an attachment in Picture Viewer and checked where it 
was being loaded from.  /AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet 
Files or some such.  Looked in that folder, not much in there (as I'd just 
cleaned it up), just a few text files, only a few KB, decided to delete the 
folder manually from explorer anyway, "Deleting 230,119 items (1.65 GB)" 
WTF!  I had hidden files and OS files showing, but these 230k files did not 
show!  Yes, saving attachments are instant now :-)
