Google account storage full, can't send or receive emails
Your Google account comes with 15GB of free storage shared between Gmail, Drive, and Photos. Once it's full, Gmail stops working. The fastest fix is to delete old emails with large attachments or archive old photos. Google Photos has cleanup tools built in.
Google gives you 15GB free storage for Gmail, Drive, and Photos all combined. When one fills up, they all suffer. Old emails with big attachments and backup photos are the biggest space hogs. We'll delete or archive what you don't need and get your email working again.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Only deleting a few emails and thinking that's enough. If you've been getting emails for years, you need to delete hundreds to make real space.
- Forgetting to empty the Trash after deleting. Files in Trash still count toward your storage quota until you permanently delete them.
