Google storage is shared between Google Drive, Gmail and Google Photos. When the storage is full, these tools stop working. You can send and receive emails through Gmail. Google’s storage page shows you how much space is occupied in Drive, Gmail and Photos. Today we are telling you how to free up space by deleting existing content in Gmail.
How to free up Gmail storage:
Delete unread emails
You can delete unread emails by going to your Gmail inbox and clicking on the drop-down menu next to the checkbox and selecting Unread or typing is:unread in the search bar will open the unread messages. You can delete all unread messages one by one or up to 50 messages at once. Then you can click on the checkbox next to it and click on the Delete button.
