Hi,
i am new to microsoft graph api what i am trying to do is to take a received email with attachments and change the extension of the attachments(for example change test.txt to test.txt.disabled) or to disable the download option of a specific attachment so the user won't be able to download unwanted attachments he received
i have tried to delete an existing attachment and to add it right back with a different name but in the end for some reason in outlook live i see 2 attachments

2021-10-25T06:56:59.893+00:00 when i try to delete the attachment it still shows me the attachment in my mail in outlook.live but when i try to download it i get a page can't be found error
ideally i would like the deleted attachment to disappear or to be able to disable the attachment -

2021-10-25T22:26:07.173+00:00 Is that just a cache issue then eg if you delete the attachment and start and new browser session and login into Outlook live do you then still see the attachment you deleted? Also if you query the Message in the Graph can you verify the Attachment is deleted. It sounds like a UI bug or just a cache issue which if that's the case there is nothing you can do from a graph/code level to fix that.

2021-10-26T08:46:59.347+00:00 when i query the message in graph i don't see the deleted attachment but i can see it in the ui no matter what i do(log out/log in/clear cache)
and for what i can see the only attachments that still remain after the delete request are the original attachments that came with the mail
because if i add an attachment with graph and then delete it with graph it really disappearsnever the less is there someone i can ask about the ui bug?
