how to locate appdata

[Tiffany]

Hi

I am using Window Vista and Microsoft outlook. The mailbox in my outlook is
full and wanted to delete some mails in my local harddisk to release some
space. The outlook data file is stored in

C:\Users\michelle\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst

But i can only see up to Michelle. Can't see AppData folder in my C drive.
Is it being hide. If yes, how do i unhide it.

Thanks!

To delete items from your Outlook file, you must do this within Outlook. Archive items that you no longer need to have access to, empty your deleted items folder, remove attachments and place them in your file system and then, once done, compact your .pst file. Right click Outlook Today and select properties, then advanced. Use the Compact Now button to compact your .pst file - depending on how much you have moved from the file, it can take a while.

hi

Thanks for your help. But i could not follow. What you are suggesting is

1) Archive items that i no longer need to have access to? how?
2) Right click Outlook Today and select properties, then advanced. But I
can't find properties under Today

Kindly advise.

One thing you can do is click the Windows Logo (Start) button and, inthe
Search field, enter
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Outlook to see the contents of that folder.

1. File, Archive
2. from the navigation pane, right click on the folder that upon selecting
will fill the middle pane with the Outlook Today screen. Its at the very top
of the main folder list and may be called "Mailbox - Tiffany" or something
else.
