Gmail deletion
I went through and deleted all the messages in “Important” under gmail from 2012 through 2019. That didn’t seem to do anything for my space. Is it because I now need to go in and delete them from Trash? There is a picture below of what the Storage Manager is telling me. I was reluctant to delete them without knowing if I am on the right track. Everything has been backed up.

Regarding gmail to trash:
Keep in mind that even if you delete an email from any folder, all it does is move into another folder spelled “trash”. That folder is set to delete any email after it’s sat for 30 days. However, if you’d like to speed up the process, you can empty the trash at any time. That should show a space change once the trash is empty. Otherwise, if you do nothing, eventually, 30 days later, older email will begin disappearing.
