How to Manage Your Gmail and Google Storage

If your Gmail storage is full, you can either purchase additional space or clean up your current storage.

Here’s a quick guide to help you free up space:

1. Delete Unwanted Emails

On a PC or Mobile Device:

Open Gmail.

Navigate to the Inbox, Social, Spam, or other relevant folders.

Click the Down arrow in the upper left to select emails. You can choose individual emails or select all.

Click "Delete" to move the emails to Trash.

For Unread or Read Emails:

Open Gmail.

Use the search bar to find `label:unread` or `label:read`.

Click "Select all" and then "Select all conversations that match this search."

Click "Delete" to remove these emails.

2. Remove Large Attachments

Search Gmail with `has:attachment larger:10M` (or use a higher value for larger files).

Select the emails with large attachments and click "Delete."

Go to Trash and select "Empty trash now."

3. Clear Spam Emails

Go to the Spam folder in Gmail.

 Click "Delete all spam messages now" or select specific emails to remove.

4. Free Up Space in Google Drive

Open the Google Drive app.

Tap the Files icon at the bottom right.

Tap the three-dot menu next to the file and choose "Remove."

You can also select multiple files to delete them at once.

Open the Trash folder.

Tap the three dots and select "Empty Trash" to permanently delete your files.

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage and clear up your Google storage.
