Hi all!

I just finished doing an online scan at RAV antivirus and all is well there but at the end of the scan where it shows how many objects, directories, archives, etc...It shows it found 76 mail files.
I keep my email inbox, sent items box, deleted items box cleaned out all the time.
I use outlook xp pro, Where do I need to look to remove these 76 email files?
Also I dont use the auto archive feature because I dont save my emails. I also use the disk cleanup feature about once a week, manually delete junk that disk cleanup doesn't remove, IE history is set to keep history files for only 1 day, for regular cleaning i use ad-aware, spybot, system mechanic, and window washer.
Can someone either tell me the path to get to these files or give me a link on how to clean this stuff up?
Thanks.

I have emptied the deleted items folder....there is nothing there. I also have show all files enabled globally in folder options, only 1 user on the computer which is also admin...
I recall something about an OE stores folder but I dont use OE I use outlook.
This is not a big deal but I can only imagine how many are built up on my other computer which I have had running for a couple years...
Thanks....I'll keep looking for answers on google till I find it.

Is there a similar cleanup option to OE under tools...options...maintenance...cleanup...

Something like that...stopped using outlook myself because it insisted that it be my default e-mail...which I didn't care for...no matter how many times I changed the default back to my preference...
