Clean up your inbox. Clean up your sent folder. Clean up your deleted folder.

As for cleaning up files on the harddrive, it depends on what your email program
is.

I know some versions of Netscape use the Temp folder
windows start button|run
%temp%
is a quick way to get to that temp folder.

I think Outlook Express uses the Temporary Internet files
Open windows explorer
rightclick on the C: drive (in the left hand window)
select properties
On the General Tab, click on the "disk cleanup" icon

(That works for me in WinXP Home edition.)

You may want to ask in a more appropriate setting (an Outlook newsgroup if you
use that).

If you have a choice of where you want to download files to, create a
"Download" directory, save all your downloads to that one folder. If
you're ever unsure about virsuses, you can easily scan that one folder.
