I sent an email which is too large to send and now i keep getting error
message saying email attachment is too large. Do anyone know if there is a
way to remove the email so the sysytem can stop trying to send it?

Delete the message in the Outbox.

Windows Mail has no means for deleting a message in the Out Box. I have the
same problem. I get error messages everytime I try to send this large message
(photos). When I go to the outbox I can't find a means to delete it.
Is there another means to get rid of it. It is stopping other messages from
going out because it is first in line and can't be accomplished.

What do you mean, "no means" to delete it?
1. Select the message, press the Delete key.
2. Select the message, click the Delete button on the toolbar.
3. Right-click the message, select Delete.
4. Drag the message to the Deleted Items folder.
5. Drag the message to the Recycle Bin.

How many methods do you need? :-)
 
I also have a large file (7 mb - didn't realize it was this large when I
dropped it in the message), it's been stuck in my outbox since last night. I
have pressed "delete," right-clicked and tried to delete, dragged it to the
deleted box. Nada. It won't go. I've restarted, tried to work offline,
etc., still no luck. Help!

Since all the usual methods failed, you will have to do this the
brute force way. Close WM. In Windows Explorer navigate to
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local Folders\Outbox.
(you may have to change your Folder Options in order to see the hidden AppData.)
Delete the file you see in that Outbox directory.
