Outlook – Removing attachments from Outlook 2013 items

attachmentsemailmicrosoft-outlookmicrosoft-outlook-2013

First off I have seen these two questions:

I am looking to perform a similar function. I want to remove attachments from emails (sent or received) so that I can save the original email to a shared network folder. The reason I want to remove the attachments is that they will already be saved in other folders, but since others will be using the folder they need access to the original message for reply, forwards, etc.

In addition, the answers provided in the linked questions seem to only work for older versions of Outlook. I am looking for a way to remove attachments from Outlook 2013 emails.
