Are you out of space in gmail and inbox size is growing like a mountain? then here is a quick tip on how to search and delete all the unwanted heavy files, recently i saw that my gmail space was already 78% full as i rarely log into gmail web as i use gmail imap along with outlook express and it was expected as i am using my gmail account from almost 5years from now and it is one of my primary email id so i thought of clearing all the unwanted heavy forwards with attachments and videos so below is the simple method i used to free the space.
"has:attachment (*.mp3 || *.avi || *.wm || *.mov || *.wmv )"
the query is simple and human understandable just add the extension *.mpeg or any other format extension if you have received those kind of files in your mailbox
to find and delete large documents and spreadsheets or any other files such as visio docs etc use below query
has:attachment (*.pdf || *.doc || *.docx || *.xls || *.xlsx || *.ppt || *.pptx )
Most of the time pdf, ppt and docs consumes most of our mailbox space
similarly to delete all the compressed or zipped attachments use below query
has:attachment (*.zip || *.rar || *.7z )
you can even add .cab, .iso etc to the above query according to your needs
