Empty the bin by selecting "Delete Permanently" to ensure these items no longer take up space.

Navigate to "Storage" from the sidebar to see a list of files that occupy space.
Delete any large or unnecessary files to clear more space.
Empty the Google Drive trash as items in the trash still count toward storage.
4. **Clean Up Gmail Storage**:
