But did you know that letting emails sit around can also be an issue? Emails can take up tons of space on your Android operating system. If you keep thousands — or even hundreds — of emails around, then it’s time that you clear a significant amount of space by deleting these emails in Gmail.

Get Rid of Emails With Attachments

Emails with big attachments can take up the most space in your inbox. So, if you’re only going to delete certain emails, these are the ones with which you should start. To find emails with attachments, search for “has:attachment” in the Gmail search filter. If you’re hesitant about how to begin getting rid of your emails, clearing out these big attachments is a good way to start.

Clear Out Your Largest Emails

Getting rid of the emails that are taking up the most space is the best thing to do, but it isn’t always simple. If you use an IMAP client such as Mozilla Thunderbird, you can start sorting emails by size and attachments. By using the IMAP client and sorting your email sizes, you can then delete the emails that are taking up most of your phone’s memory.

Find Your Biggest Emails Instead

If you don’t want to download an IMAP client, you can also use a third-party service called Find Big Mail to scan your messages. This web-based service takes temporary access to your email, scans through your emails, and creates labels in your account so you can browse for large messages without engaging the Find Big Mail site.

Stop Receiving Bulk Mail

The easiest way to keep your inbox close to empty is to stop getting as many emails. You’re probably subscribed to plenty of newsletters and mailing lists that you don’t read, so why not unsubscribe? Use an app like Unroll.Me or do it manually. It only takes a few minutes, and it will keep your inbox free of clutter. Or, you choose to receive fewer emails per week from many of these business if you still enjoy receiving notifications and updates.

<![CDATA[How to Safely and Easily Clean Your Computer]]> https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/safely-easily-clean-computer/ Fri, 16 Sep 2016 20:35:12 +0000 https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=3752 You may have the best of intentions when it comes to caring for your computer. You don’t eat over it (too often). You don’t drink over it (that much). But you know you haven’t been caring for it like you should. Get it clean and ready for action in no time with these tips.

Clean your computer keyboard

It’s grimy, it’s gritty. Your computer keyboard needs a cleaning. Making your computer keyboard look and feel like new again is easy. To begin, turn off your laptop. Then, using baby wipes or similar products, rub gently over the keys. Do the same for your mouse. Disconnect the mouse, then gently rub the cleaning cloth all over it. Now, grab a can of compressed air, and spray away between the keys to remove the dust, pet hair, and occasional potato chip that likes to settle between them.

Clean your computer screen

Turn off your laptop so you can better see the great, big dirty splotches. For an LCD, you want to be especially careful that you don’t press too hard, and damage your screen. If you do, you’ll burn out the pixels. Using a dry microfiber cloth, not a paper towel or tissue to avoid scratching your screen, gently rub across your computer screen to clean off all the gunk. If you must, you may ever so slightly dampen the cloth, in order to remove stubborn dirty spots. Distilled water is the best choice and will keep from leaving spots behind.

Clean up your computer on the inside

Now that your computer is tied up on the outside, it’s time to clean it up on the inside. PSafe Total Windows is the perfect way to begin. Install PSafe TOTAL Windows. To begin, run a virus scan, and see if there are any hidden dangers lurking within your system. After the scan is complete, deal with any issues accordingly. Then, take a look at the suggestions offered within the software to help your computer run faster and smoother than ever. It will also identify temporary and unnecessary files, so you can delete those as well. Freeing up space will also help your laptop’s performance.

Keep it Clean

Now that your laptop is up to speed, keep it that way. Take the time to occasionally wipe down the mouse and keyboards, especially after family members have been ill, and wipe off the screen.

Be sure to consistently run PSafe Total Windows to ensure a fast-working, zippy computer that’s free from resource hogging viruses and malware. Follow the software’s suggestions for a computer that won’t let you down.
