Hey all,
My Gmail inbox is at 15.02 GB of 15 GB maximum and I can’t seem to find any way to resolve the issue other than buying storage? It’s also “rejecting” new attachments. Is there any way (or tool) to just clear out a bunch of junk?

Yeah. It’s called “Upgrade storage” as you mentioned. Irony aside, try to empty your bin after you’ve cleaned everything in inboxes and Spam.

I’ve tried mass deleting stuff many times before, but it barely ever seems to make a dent? 
I forgot where I read this, but I now use my Gmail as a task list. When I’m done with an email, I delete or archive it. I think eliminating stuff in your Gmail requires a fundamental change in how you use it.
Now that that’s out of the way I reach nearly inbox zero (with 3-5 emails at a time in my view) by using some tricks:
-
I used https://unroll.me/ (free) to unsubscribe from nearly everything. I only have like 3-5 things I’m subscribed to now.
-
I used https://mailstrom.co/ (free trail or paid) to help me sort my emails by size and MASS DELETE almost everything I had. Or just delete the biggest emails. I highly recommend this one ~ I cleared our everything within their 1 month plan option at like ~9$. So worth it.

I dno if the red bar in your screenshot is for Gmail or Google drive? (I’m on my phone, I can’t check), but you can use this link to sort all of your Google Drive by size: https://drive.google.com/drive/quota I clear out a ton of my drive data that way since folders don’t even matter in that view.
Hope this helps
Leon
