Outlook keeps trying to send a file that is way too large. I didn't notice
it was so large until after a few days of OL being extremely slow and
using up my CPU at 100%. How can I delete this file?

I have tried going to the outbox and selecting delete, but it will not delete.
Can find the location of the data, but not the file that needs to be deleted.
 
Use File->work offline. Completely close and restart Outlook and then
delete the file. Select File->uncheck work offline. Completely close and
restart Outlook and you should be fine.
