"Every new Google email account comes with 15GB of free storage -- a solid offer at no cost. However, that space can fill up fast, especially since it also covers files in Google Drive and Google Photos. If your inbox is cluttered with unread newsletters and sneaky spam, there's a way to clean house without losing important messages. With the right approach, you can preserve what matters while giving yourself a fresh start."
"And, chances are, you'll only eliminate so much junk before those gigabytes start stacking up again. I should note that Google offers a way to pay for more storage by upgrading to a Google One account. The "Basic" plan costs $24 per year for 100GB. The free solution, however, lies in taking a few steps to back up your essential files and reset your data capacity."
Create a new Google account to receive an additional 15GB of free storage and move old emails into it as an archive. Back up important Drive and Photos files using Google Takeout and optionally store copies on a computer or external hard drive. Enable POP3 forwarding on the original Gmail account to transfer messages into the archive account without losing essential mail. Consider paid Google One storage for long-term needs, but use the free method to reset cloud usage immediately while preserving important emails and media. Clean inbox filters and unsubscribe from newsletters to limit future clutter.
