How to Fix the 'Gmail Storage Full' Message in Minutes
If your Gmail inbox keeps telling you it’s full, the problem isn’t always just email. Photos and videos backed up in high quality can quickly eat up space in your Google Account. Here’s how to reclaim it:
- Open the Google app on your phone.
- Tap your profile picture at the top right and go to Manage your Google Account.
- Navigate to the Data & privacy tab.
- Scroll down to Apps and services > Saved content from Google services.
- Tap on Photos.
- Tap the three dots at the top and choose Desktop version.
- Zoom in and click the cloud icon.
- You’ll see the option to Recover Storage. Check the box to convert photos and videos to a more space-efficient format.
Done. You’ve just saved a good chunk of space without deleting anything important.
This simple process compresses old photo and video backups without losing them: freeing up space across Gmail, Drive, and Google Photos. It’s a game-changer for Android and iPhone users alike.
