Hello Bitlan,

I have solved the problem by downloading File Assasin. I asked chat GPT and out of 3 options file assassin was the correct one in my case. Ask chatGPT for instructions and it will tell you step-by-step how to use it.

Where on your PC are those downloaded attachment's stored, is that in the Downloads folder or on your Desktop or in the Documents folder?

Do you use OneDrive or any other Cloud service to sync your files online?
