This temp folder can grow in size and pose a security risk if others have access to the computer system. The Microsoft Outlook Temp Cleaner is a software program for the Windows operating system that can perform the following actions:

  • Open the Microsoft Outlook temp folder
  • Display the size of the folder
  • Delete all files in the folder

All of these actions can be initiated after installation of the application on supported Windows operating systems (which are Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 as well as Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2008 R2).

  • -openfolder to open the folder
  • -foldersize to display the size of the Outlook temp folder

These can be used either with a startup shortcut or the Windows Task Scheduler to clean the Microsoft Outlook temp folder regularly without further user interaction.
