See what’s filling your Google storage.
Copy three numbers from Google’s storage page. You get a picture of where it all went and a short list of what to clear first, biggest wins at the top.
Your numbers are on Google’s storage page. They stay in this browser.
Clear these first
Gmail is your biggest at 7.8 GB. Start at the top: the first few usually clear the most.
Emails over 10 MB
Usually a few dozen at most, and often a big share of your Gmail total. larger:10M
Videos people emailed you
Phone videos are the biggest single files most inboxes have. {filename:mp4 filename:mov}
Old attachments over 5 MB
Save the ones you need to your computer, then clear the rest. has:attachment larger:5M older_than:2y
Empty your Trash
Everything in Trash still counts. Open it and click "Empty Trash now".
Promotions older than a year
Each one is small, but there are often thousands. category:promotions older_than:1y
Old social notifications
Likes, follows and reminders from last month and before. category:social older_than:1m
Done a few? Check again.
Google updates the number within a day or so. Enter the new Gmail figure and see how much you cleared.
How Google counts it
The parts that surprise people.
15 GB, shared three ways
A free Google account gets 15 GB in total. Gmail, Google Drive and Google Photos all draw from the same pool.
Trash still counts
Deleted email keeps taking space until Trash is emptied. Gmail does that on its own after 30 days, or you can empty it now. Spam works the same way.
Full means bounced
Once you're out of space, Gmail can't send or receive email. People who write to you get their message sent back.
Questions
Does this page see my Google account?
No. You type the numbers in yourself, and they are saved in this browser only. There is no sign-in and nothing is sent anywhere.
I deleted a lot and the number didn't move.
Check Trash: deleted email still counts until Trash is emptied. Google can also take up to a day to update the total.
Do files people share with me count?
No. Only files you own count against your storage. A file someone else shared with you counts against theirs.
Where do I find my numbers?
On Google's storage page (one.google.com/storage), signed in to the account you want to check. It shows the total and how much Gmail, Drive and Photos each use.
