Earlier, removing complete traces and leftovers of files and attachments from Microsoft Outlook would mean having to open the Windows registry, find a key and then use it to find a random folder name. This was necessary because, in Microsoft Outlook XP, whenever you had to open an attachment it quietly uses to place itself in a temp folder, leaving it for anyone to grab, even when deleted. The same problem persisted with Microsoft Outlook 2010. However, IntelliAdmin Outlook Attachment Cleanup lets you do so easily.

Outlook Attachment Cleanup is a small application that allows you to automatically clean out Outlook attachments. It automatically scans your registry, finds all Microsoft Outlook attachments, and then displays them to you in the main window. Using the main window a user can quickly clean the attachment leftovers in his Outlook email client with the Clean  button.

The free Outlook Attachment Cleanup Tool can also be run silently using the command line.

Here is how you can run Outlook Attachment Cleanup using the command line:

OutlookCleanup.exe /SILENT

It will quietly scan through your registry, find the temp folder and empty it.  It is advisable to run this command line at log-on. Doing so ensures you  do not have to deal with any kind of prompts. The best part of the application is that it comes for free. Thus you can use Outlook Attachment Cleanup until Microsoft comes up with another better alternative.
