Gmail codes to free up free space

What you have to do is go to the Gmail search engine (the bar at the top of the page) and type:

• Size:3m With this code you will receive all the emails that weigh more than three megabytes, and that are therefore taking up a lot of space.
• Older_Than: 1Y You will be shown those that are older than one year, you can expand the search by changing the number before the Y.
• from:(name of a contact) All emails from a specific contact will be displayed, for example, if you type from:netflix all the emails that the company has sent you will appear.

Once this is done, you will only have to select all the emails that you have selected and that you are no longer interested in keeping for reasons that they take up too much space, are too old or are spam, ads or irrelevant information, and delete them all to free up space and your Gmail works normally again.
