A lot of us have run into storage issues on our Gmail account. There have been times we have received a notification stating the storage of Gmail account is full and mails need to be deleted in order to receive new ones. Google provides users with a total of 15GB storage for free, this is the storage for Drive files, emails, WhatsApp backups, among others. If you have an Android phone, filling the 15GB is very easy.
Google forums are filled with queries related to storage full issues and two answers get repeated a lot. First, to purchase additional cloud storage from Google at Rs 130 per month for 100GB, and the second is to clean up some space to accommodate new mails.
To buy additional storage you will need to select the amount of storage you want and add your credit card details to make the purchase. After doing this once, Google will set up a recurring payment from your account and you will get additional space until you decide to end the subscription. However, to add new data or receive new emails you will have to clear up the storage and bring the amount of space your account uses to below 15GB.

There are three ways in which you can free up space on your Google account: Delete files by size in Google Drive, Delete mails, Google Photos.

If a user receives a large volume of emails with attachments, stores a lot of emails with large attachments, or has been using Gmail for a long time without managing their emails, they may reach or exceed their storage quota. Large Attachments: Emails with large attachments consume more storage space.
You can't. Those emails that arrived while there was no space for them will have been bounced back to the sender with an error message stating the mailbox is full. Your only hope of getting them is if the sender decides to resend them. By the way, this has nothing specifically to do with Gmail.
By default, when you create a new Google account, you are given 15 GB of storage space for free. This storage space is shared across Google services, including Docs, Sheets, Drive, Gmail, Photos, and any other services you use in Google's ecosystem.
One common oversight is forgetting to clear out the Trash and Spam folders in your Gmail account. Deleted emails often end up in these folders before being permanently removed.
It means that the recipient's mailbox is full and can't accept messages now. That is to say, you can't send or receive your emails if your mailbox is full. The only thing you can do is delete emails from your account or upgrade your account to an advanced plan to get more email storage space for new messages.

Free up space with Gmail. With the Google One Storage Management Tool, you can review and free up storage space by deleting emails in your trash, spam emails, or emails with large attachments. info Features are subject to availability.
If you want to keep the majority of your items in Google Drive and Gmail, you can free up space by sorting each service by file size and deleting only one or two large files instead of a few dozen smaller items.
Every Google Account comes with 15 GB of cloud storage at no charge, which is shared across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. When you upgrade to a paid Google One monthly subscription, your total storage increases to 100 GB or more, depending on the plan you choose.
If, after emptying Google Drive Trash, it still doesn't free up storage, or account storage is full in Gmail after deleting, you can sign out from it and sign in again to have a try. This is because the Google Drive server may not have updated the storage space in time, and logging in again can help update.
There are some reasons should be responsible for Gmail account storage is full but it's not, let's find out: Deleted emails in Trash or Spam folders still taking up space. Large attachments impact storage. Shared files and folders using up storage quota.
If you're receiving a “Gmail Full storage” error message, it means that you've reached your storage limit and can no longer send or receive emails. To resolve this issue, you can either delete old emails and attachments to free up space or purchase additional storage from Google.
