Aloha all,
I have a small SSD with only 100GB, and Windows 10 tells me 12GB are being used by Mail. From "Storage" in settings, I click manage mail but it takes me to Microsoft Mail, and there are no accounts and no emails. And I don't have Outlook listed on my Windows Apps. After researching around, reading locked discussion boards on this site with NO ANSWER, resetting Mail in Apps settings, deleting temporary files, trying to track down locally stored .eml files, etc. etc. I finally found the solution.
If you go to Control Panel instead of Settings, and go to Mail (32-bit), then a window "Mail Setup - Outlook" will open, click "Data Files..." and then go to the "email" tab and delete any accounts. This deleted locally stored files - 12GB of them! Problem solved.
I couldn't add this solution to all of the previous forums posted because they're all locked (even though they were never solved), so hopefully I can get the information out this way.
