Do you find yourself running out of storage space on your Gmail account? If you’re using the free version of Google Drive, you only have 15GB of storage to work with. This includes your Gmail storage, so it’s important to keep your inbox as lean as possible. In this article, we’ll show you easy ways to clear up space in your Gmail account.
Rather than spending hours sifting through old emails, we recommend two quick ways to free up space. First, take a quick look in your promotions tab. Bulk deleting emails in this tab can save a lot of space. However, make sure to keep any important emails you need, such as shipping confirmations.
The second method is using Gmail’s search bar. Type “has:attachment larger:25MB” to find emails with large attachments. Gmail doesn’t allow files larger than 25MB, so this is a great starting point. You can also adjust the search to find emails with attachments larger than a specific size.
Once you’ve found the emails to delete, select them with the checkmark box to the left, or bulk delete using the main toggle above. Remember to empty your trash once you’re done. Gmail holds deleted emails for 30 days before clearing, so if you need space now, empty it immediately.
By following these simple steps, you can free up space in your Gmail account quickly and easily. Do you have any other tips for clearing up space in your Google Drive and Gmail storage? Let us know in the comments below!
