When you delete Inbox/sent/and finally delete folder items from OE, are they still on the hard drive as a temp item? If so does CC remove them? Thank You!
Yes they remain on the hard drive and are stored as .dbx files which can be deleted.
They should be recreated as needed anew by windows if needed.
You can set CC to clear them through Options - Include.
Path in XP should be C:\Documents and Settings\"USERNAME"\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{344A5A32-F424-4C87-AD80-257892EDB24E}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
