How do I clean up my trash, spam, and large documents in Google Drive?

  1. Navigate to Google

  2. Click the search bar and type "google drive"

  3. Click "Sign-in"

  1. To check if you have received files that were marked as spam and were hidden in the spam folder, click "Spam"

  1. Select "Trash". While items in your trash do not count towards your storage capacity, keeping on top of what you have in your trash bin is important, especially because items in trash delete after 30 days.

  1. Click here to adjust the way the list is sorted, either from largest file to smallest file, or smallest file to largest file.
