Gmail drive full

I followed a guide on how to archive my old Gmail email from before 2015. Everything appeared to proceed smoothly enough — the files are now in MailStore and I chose the option to delete messages on the server, but Google is still telling me I only have 350MB free space. What gives? [ GREG JENNER ] Nick Peers replies: When MailStore deleted your mail from the Gmail server, it was placed in the Bin folder, where it will reside for the next 30 days until automatically being wiped. If you’re confident all the mail you’ve archived is now accessible through MailStore, go to

mail.google.com and locate the Bin in the list of folders on the left. Click this followed by the ‘Empty Bin now’ link at the top of the page. Confirm how many messages will be deleted, then click OK. Be patient while this process occurs; once done, it may take a little time before your Google account is updated to show the correct amount of free space you have.
