Are you creating a new Gmail account because your previous account’s total space got consumed? Wait, you still can use your old account freeing up some space in it. Gmail has a storage limit of 15 GB. If you are you close to reaching that limit its time you take some measures to organize your mail. Here are three simple steps to free up space in Gmail:

Empty trash and Spam

Trash works as the recycle bin of the Gmail account. All the deleted emails get accumulated in the trash section consuming a whole lot of space of your Gmail. So make sure you clean up the trash and spam section of the email regularly.
