2 minute video !!!!be careful this will delete all photos and attachments you got years ago
I did it anyway. Now I am down to 7GB used from 11GB used at my Gmail

I also just trashed all promotions on someone’s Gmail. This freed up 3GB space for her
Best way to clean up G-mail is to down load your account and cancel it for good.
google is the most data hungry org there is. If you use gmail, you can count on 100% of your correspondences having been saved in their system for life.
I do it the old fashioned way. I sort descending based on size and names and deal with largest attachments first. That gets rid of the bulk of it.
Use Gmail only for junk mail and political mail...
Auto delete every 30-days...
Don’t care who still has it...
If something comes in on Gmail that I want to keep, simply forward it to my private email address which is for friends, family, and financial institutions...
This has worked for past couple of decades just fine after I got to old to be able to easily handle that rug & fire...
Bingo!!
Didn’t mean to be rude about it, but that really is the best way to fix G-mail. But I guess cleaning out the junk before you download your account would be a good idea. :)
Actually, a better idea is to not use Gmail. No, you are a gentleman on this forum, unlike a few I can name...
Kind words, thank you. I try when I am sober... lol
Great idea!
I faked my own death.
Bingo.
Only the NSA has a copy
I like to send a couple of gpg encrypted attachments to my friends every couple of weeks or a month to keep NSA from getting bored. I always title them with random combinations of letters and numbers. Sometimes I reuse the titles with a sequential number added at the end. I have no idea if anyone is screwing with them or not, but if they are they’re going to have to work for the content
Just remember that any email over 6 months does not have privacy protection. No warrant needed for the government to read them.
