Deleting older, large emails.

Post by Ernie »

I'm wanting to free up space in Gmail by deleting emails older than a year with attachments larger than 3MB. Anybody know of a way to do this without including newer emails?

If you are using gmail on a PC

Go to the search bar and click "options" which is the icon on the right edge of the search bar. When you bring up the search options menu, specify the size and date range for the emails you want to search for. That will let you search for all emails over a certain size and older than a certain date.

Then you can just delete them from within the search results
