how do i find outlook temp files

The posting from youngjohn on Jan. 12, 2015, was perfect ... as most of the other thread suggestions (while helpful at one point) don't seem relevant anymore.

Why Office chose such an esoteric, deeply buried, hidden folder location for temp files like this is bizarre.

Thanks, youngjohn!

After reading the entire thread, following the instructions, I couldn't get to my file. I did not have the locations listed (I'm running outlook for mac office 365)

Finally, I found the solution by opening another attachment from outlook and then "file - save as". This gives me the location of the temp folder. The file is in my private directory, which was hidden. So then I opened the terminal app, and typed in sudo chflags nohidden/private

I entered my password, and opened finder. there it was!

Navigated to the folder where the outlook temp directory was - about 6 levels deep, and found the file.

THANK YOU THIS JUST SAVED ME HOURS OF WORK!

Thanks LAIII. Saved the lives of my wife and kids as definitely would have taken my frustrations out on them if your solution had not worked so simply and easily!!

This worked for me! Whew, I was in panic mode when I couldn't find my file after 6 hours of editing. Thank you so much.

But -- now my question is, can we change the location so this is easier to find????

Thanks! It worked just fine!

I found it when clicking onto the apple icon and looking in 'used objects', then under 'documents'. Works if not too many docs have been opened since the fatal one.

Thank you!

Genious! Thanks - I just wasted an hour looking for a file I worked on for about 1 1/2 hours and accidentally files in this folder. Many thanks!!

Brilliant!

I have referred to these instructions more than once; works like a charm! Thank you so much!
