Google provides a few tools to help you free up storage space. So about a week ago, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. If I wanted to avoid paying Google another $30 this year to maintain more than a decade’s worth of junk, I had to act fast. Heck, I had so much email that Gmail couldn’t be bothered to even count anymore: “1-50 of many” was what it said in the top right corner of my inbox as opposed to “1-50 of 50,000” or whatever.Īll told, I had a bit more than 20GB of email in my inbox, well past the 15GB limit for free account storage. Instead, I’d invariably “mark as read” and move on with my day.Īs a result, my inbox was bursting at the seams with junk: Old Navy newsletters from a decade ago, Best Buy offers that expired while President Obama was still in office, happy birthday emails from websites that no longer exist. I mean that: I’m pretty sure I deleted fewer than 10 emails over the life of my account. Well, I created my Gmail account in 2008 and. To be fair, 15GB is a huge amount of free space (three times what Apple offers, if you’re keeping score), so how could I possibly need more? And so, I was determined not to pay a penny more for the items archived in my Google account.Īs you may know, the company gives all users 15GB of free storage space to house those many keepsakes stowed in Google Photos, Google Docs, and, crucially in my case, Gmail. With inflation so high, culling unnecessary subscriptions is a great way to save money.
