    Deleting archived emails/newsgroup posts

    Whilst doing a virus scan tonight, I noticed hundreds of entries with the following formats:

    Microsoft Outlook Internet Settings\Personal Folders\Top of Personal Folders\Sent Items\[From][Subject][Time]

    and:

    Main Identity\news.cable.ntlworld.com\[various newsgroup posts]

    These are slowing the scan down considerably, is there any way of getting rid of them? I can't find them anywhere on the system.

    edit: Anyone?

    Sorry about this but, bumpage.

    Or should this go in hexus.help? Could a mod move it if so?

    are you using outlook for news rather than outlook express? I presume that outlook stores newsgroup posts as standalone .msg files, rather than in a structured data store? that's weird storage tho - which versions of outlook and express are you running?

    Outlook is 2000. I use XNews for newsgroups now, the OE newsgroup files are at least a year old. Searching for msg files doesn't turn anything up.
