Even if it seems like a lie, the email tray It is something to be careful about on a daily basis, since if we read and store all the emails that we receive, whether they are orders, informational or spam, we will end up taking up all free space that Gmail offers us. That is why, in this guide we tell you how you can free up space in your email and what you can do if you want to increase it.
How to free up space in Gmail
Within Gmail, we have several sectionsbut we actually always use two, the “Inbox” and “Starred” to quickly get to a specific email. That is why, if you have not been emptying little by little the other sections like “Spam“, “Promotions” either “Notifications“, you will have an email filled with informational and even fraudulent emails from applications or websites you have registered for.
The bad thing is that within Gmail there is no possible option that allows you to delete all emails at once, but rather You will have to eliminate them 50 at a time.at least from the computer. If you look, on the left side of the email, there are some boxes next to a star icon, which mark each email. Well, right above, If you select the squarethe 50 emails on that page will be marked, and you can delete them by clicking the “Delete permanently” button.
Yeah, You also have to empty the trash canso go to the “Trash” section and do exactly the same as with the other sections.
Another option, now getting into the subject, is the Delete emails that are of considerable weight. To see which ones are the heaviest, you will have to click on the search bar that is on the top of the screen and filter by the “Size” section, selecting the MB you consider.
A good option is select 10 MBsince there you will find images and even videos that you have or may have been sent to your email.
If you have been using a lot of years mail, as is probably the case for all of us over twenty years old, you can also filter emails by age, since let me doubt that any mail from seven or ten years ago is currently useful to you for something (unless it is something very specific, of course) so, go back to the magnifying glass and this time filter from the option “Date range”.
Finally, tell you that both the photos you upload to the cloud in Google Photos like the files you have saved in Google Drivethey take up space in Gmail, so I recommend clearing some space in them as well.
