To unsend an attachment in Outlook, use the 'Recall This Message' feature. Navigate to the 'Sent Items' folder, open the email you wish to retract, and click 'Actions' under the 'Message' tab. Select 'Recall This Message', and choose to either delete unread copies or replace the attachment if needed. This only works if recipients haven't opened the email and if they’re using the same email server. If recalling isn’t possible, inform recipients promptly to disregard the attachment.
