According to my test, when I click “Save As” to save attachment in Outlook for Mac 2016, the file location will keep the same as the previous location. So, it is not feasible to set the default file location. I understand it would be nice if we can set the default file location in Outlook for Mac 2016.

Unlike PCs, which require manual maintenance to clear temporary file caches, the Mac's UNIX-based operating system is designed to automatically run maintenance and clear temporary files. Emergency situations arise, however, and you may not be able to wait for the next automatic maintenance point. If your unsaved word processor document shuts down unexpectedly or your multi-version file has a large temporary data cache causing a lag on your system, locate your Mac's TMP (temporary) folder using Terminal and your Finder, and manually access or clear files as needed.
1.Launch the Terminal application. You can do this by clicking 'Go' at the top of your screen, then scrolling to 'Utilities.' Alternately, you can click 'Applications' on the left sidebar of your Finder window, then double-click on 'Utilities' from there.
2.Type 'open /tmp' in Terminal (without quotation marks).
3.Press the 'Enter' key. The Finder window should now navigate to the appropriate folder.

- A simple restart will also perform a clearing of the temporary files.
Warnings
- Use caution when deleting tmp directories -- particularly anything pertaining to your system -- as removal may cause instability.
