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.

Get organized

Icloud ISSUES - your data wiped out!

 I always recommend my clients and friends, to have several backups of your main archives.

This proves the importance of my point. Also, have one copy outside your house or business/office.

I have 3 archival copies + 4th one to edit and work with various files, specially the family photos and videos.

... "Western Digital has determined that some My Book Live devices are being compromised by malicious software," the company wrote in an update to the forum thread. "In some cases, this compromise has led to a factory reset that appears to erase all data on the device. The My Book Live device received its final firmware update in 2015. We understand that our customers' data is very important. At this time, we recommend you disconnect your My Book Live from the Internet to protect your data on the device. We are actively investigating and we will provide updates to this thread when they are available."
