My email account says it's full
When your email account is full, nothing new can arrive and you cannot send attachments. Empty your Trash and Spam folders first (they still count against your limit until deleted), then delete large emails. This frees enough space within minutes.
Your email account has a storage limit. When full, new emails stop arriving and sending stops working. Trash and Spam still count against your limit until permanently deleted. Clear those folders, then delete the largest emails with attachments. This always fixes it.
- ✓Empty your Trash and Spam folders first. Deleted emails still count toward your limit until you permanently clear these folders
- ✓Search for large emails. In Gmail type larger:10m in the search box to find emails bigger than 10 MB
- ✓If you use Gmail, go to one.google.com to see whether emails, photos, or Drive files are using the most space

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Deleting small text-only emails one at a time. A single email with a video is bigger than 10,000 text emails combined
- Expecting the warning to disappear immediately. Storage updates take up to an hour to reflect
- Deleting photos from cloud storage without confirming they are backed up elsewhere first
Signs you need professional help
- If you cleared space but the quota fills again within weeks. If you want automatic archiving so old emails move to your computer. If you need help choosing a storage upgrade plan.
