Hello,

since Saturday, I have been receiving the following message: "You are using all of your storage space. You will soon be unable to send and receive emails unless you free up space or if you purchase additional storage. A maximum delay of 24 hours may be necessary for these changes to take effect in your storage space."

I had previously tried Google Drive and I transferred a bit too many files...

Wanting to go back, I have been trying to delete all of this, but I can't. When I go through the explorer in Drive, I can delete a maximum of 36 files at a time; given that I must have over 10,000 music files, this is quite tedious.

On the other hand, when I look, I have used very little space... I don't understand anything!

Could you please explain how I could delete (potentially everything) at once from Google Drive, as they only offer me to pay... and that doesn't suit me!

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely

    Hello.

    Be careful to remember to empty the GOOGLE DRIVE trash, otherwise the files will stay there for 30 days.

    Thank you, indeed, I emptied the trash, cleared out as much as I could from music and photos, and now it shows 7 GB used but I still get the message: your drive is almost full!

    Furthermore, I notice that it shows some items with the indication "saved today" even though I haven't done anything!!

    Thank you for your help
