PROBLEM: Gmail har modtaget for mange spam og ligegyldige mails. Rensning ønskes.

Finding Old Emails

Add “is:important is:unread” to your search to pull up unread emails that Google thinks are important to you based on who sent them and what they’re about.

Finding really old mails

Use the search term “before: 2016/12/31” (or whatever date you want). You can also search “before:2017" or another year

Finding mails sendt through Hangouts

add “in:chats” to your search.

Tricks for Saving Storage Space

search “has:attachment larger_than:10mb.” That will pull up any emails with big attachments so you can delete the ones you don’t need.

You can get rid of unimportant emails you were copied on by searching “cc:me” or “bcc: me” (or both with “cc:me OR bcc:me”) and then deleting the ones you don’t want.

You can also search for a specific person/company that clogs up your inbox with “from:email address.”

Or try searching for a specific file type with queries like “filename:jpg” or “filename:gif” or “filename:pdf,” and then deleting those from your inbox.

Find the Large Attachments Eating Up Your Gmail Space with a Simple Search

If you want to avoid running out of storage space in the future you can use Gmail search to unsubscribe from a bunch of mailing lists at once. Just search “label:^unsub” to find all the emails with an unsubscribe link and go nuts.

Staying Organized
If you’re the type of person who likes to keep your inbox organized with labels, you can search “has:nouserlabels” to find any messages that escaped your system. From there, either delete them or categorize as needed
