does anyone remember when gmail first launched it didnt have a delete email option because they wanted to 'teach users to value data like google values data'?


It mostly worked on me if that was the goal. Except now my storage is at over 93% and I'm trying to figure out if I can just download my mbox file and delete all the emails for the next decade...


Google allows you to download your emails. I don't know what format it is in though. (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3024190?hl=en). If it is not mbox format I am sure there is a converter if you need it.


I'm exactly on 93% too, I'm am going to clean out my Google drive which is full of stuff I could put elsewhere and will give me another few years. It's about time they increased their limit from 15GB though!


It's unlikely they will, there's an upgrade path called Google One that gets you 100GB storage for about $20 a year, across all their products, and shareable by family members. It also comes with human tech support.
