How to clean google email and have more space? Declutter and organize digital messages

 I had many subscriptions which eventually got close to the quota of google.

I have been deleting close to over 30k emails, most are subscriptions. Along the way I unsubscribed from many newsletters. 

Since it still shows 
14.36 GB of 15 GB (95%) used I went to search for help on duckduckgo.com
Here is my findings: (I will share my experience with you) at this point I am gathering information as to how to save space. Besides, I will never look back at those newsletters. Otherwise, I would have added additional storage space.
What is my usage? I found out => 
Google Photos (6.5 GB)
Drive, Gmail, and more (7.9 GB)

My solution: Since I always encourage everyone to have backup of their photos, I started downloading my photos.
Once they are securely backed up in my external hard drive, as well as created another back up, I'll delete those albums.
I also found out videos my friends send are going in the photos albums! Do I really need them? NOOOOO, I have already seen them.
I found out that 
 
My Gmail Trash Bin <= Trash in here is automatically purged after 30 days.
 
Again, I will make another reply to suggest a potential much better way to clean up wasted space.

Apple and file format change!

 NEW FORMAT, WHO THIS?

The format for iPhone photos switched to HEIC since iOS 11. It's often caused problems for some users but Apple had to switch it up because their problems are bigger than an individual's problem.



I added this information here, I'll check my iphone soon, as well as watch the video.
