At my company, the mailbox size is limited. I have found that I am
frequently reaching my mailbox limit due to attachments to meeting requests
on my calendar. I know how to manually remove them and save to a folder, but
does anyone know how to do it Automatically?

I have looked through options and rules to try to find a setting to no avail.

This would have to be done with VBA code or a third-party add-in. These samples show various ways to save and/or remove attachments in code:
