How to remove all attachments from email in Outlook?

Normally when you are previewing an email, you can delete an attachment with right clicking and select the Remove Attachment item. Sometimes there may be many attachments in an email message, and it will be tedious to remove them one by one. Here we arrange you with two easy tricks to remove all attachments in one email, and remove all attachments from multiple emails as well in Outlook.

Nov 13, 2018 Also, Outlook may have a size restriction on the size of attachments. Check with your ISP or network administrator for more information about e-mail restrictions. In general, if the attachment is bigger than 20 MB, we suggest using a file sharing service rather than e-mail.

  • When you open file attachments that are considered safe, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, and Outlook 2003 puts these attachments in a subdirectory of the Temporary Internet Files directory as an additional precaution. When Outlook first tries to use a temporary file, it examines the registry to determine whether the following value exists.

The problem is caused by Google ending support for a function called 'showModalDialog', which OWA uses to open dialog boxes for these tasks.

    The VBA code shown in solution 2 works fine, however, but my goal is to remove only attachments which are not inline the message. Being VBA ignorant I would like to ask if it is possible to modify the code in that manner it would remove only attached files, not pictures inside the email text. It would surely make my day :)
    Thank you in advance

    Can somebody change the code so that only for example attachments named 'TermsAndConditions.pdf' are deleted

      Dear Rene,
      Please follow the steps in the above second method, run the below VBA code. In an opening dialog box, please enter the attachment's name with the file extension (such as test.docx), and then click the OK button to just remove it from the selected email.

    Method 1 doesn't work here, as there's only 1 option under 'Selection': Copy.

    Hi
    This was really helpful , but as all attachments were not saved when i tried again it gives a message 'the macros in this project are disabled'...tried enabling macros in outlook but no luck, any one can help!
    Regards
    Lisa

    This code was exactly what I was looking for. If you want to take it a step further . Use the 'More Commands' , Choose commands from drop down and choose 'Macros'.. you will see this macro and 'Add>>'.. Now you have a button at the very top. Custom select emails with attachments and click new macro button at top. Thank you again for posting this code!!!!! :-)
  • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
    The code works beautifully. Just one thing I noticed, the code doesn't register attachments in certain types of emails such as invites or undeliverable emails. So if these emails are in a line of selected emails, the code will stop when it reaches one of these emails. You have to delete these attachments manually (or the entire email), then run the code again. Not sure if there is any way to alter the code so it takes these types of emails into account. Otherwise, this has been extremely helpful.

    I have use KU to remove attachments on multiple emails (about 100 so far), but it had not reduced the file size of my mailbox. Can you explain why this might be?

      Thx so much. In fact, I've been using the vba codes as shown in 'Remove all attachments from multiple email messages in Outlook with VBA code', and the codes work fine.
      My point is I cannot modify the codes to convert the hyperlink to plain text. There is no use showing the hyperlink, as the linked folder/files will be deleted sooner or later as the volume increase to a certain size.
      Looking forward to your further advice.
      Best regards
  • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
    I find the VBA very good, but is it possible to convert the hyperlink to pure text, as it seems too many hyperlinks in the Outlook .pst file will eat up memory.
    In fact I only wish to retain the attachment file names, as relevant files have been saved (if necessary) already when the mail is read.
    Would anyone help ?
    Thx a lot.

    Code works fab,
    Is it possible to change the location that the attachments are saved? I use several different PCs at work, and having the attachments save onto the C:/.
    Can I save to network drive if I know the path?
  • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
    This code only removes attachments from the selected mail item. I am using 2013 if that is an issue
  • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
    This works partially; some attachments are removed, but many are not. Running Outlook 2013, 15.0.4701.1000. I would hesitate to purchase KU Tools if this can't be resolved first.
  • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
    well done. this is what I needed, many thanks
  • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
    The attachments done appear to be detaching, I can still open the emails and the pdfs, any ideas? thanks.
  • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
    You can resolve the issue of two attachments with the same name, and create reverse traceability by altering the following line in the code.
    ' Save attachment before deleting from item.
    ' Get the file name.
    sFile = Format(aMail.SentOn, 'YYYYMMDDHHNNSS') & '_' & oAttachments.Item(i).FileName
    This will add a date and time stamp in front of the attachment name.

    This is awesome. However bear in mind if 2 attachments have hte same name, the older one will end up being written over.

    Exactly what I was looking for - great piece of code - thank you
