Every time I open an attachment from Outlook it is saved in a temporary
folder. Many of them are of no consequence and are taking up space. How do
I delete the files in the temporary folder? Windows XP Professional

Why do you believe you should worry about it? In most cases, the temporary
files will be deleted automatically. However, if you believe you must
control it yourself, see this:

Empty your Temporary Internet Files Folder. You should be doing that
regularly anyway. You can use Disk Cleanup or Internet Options in Internet
Explorer.
