I'm running low on Google storage and need some advice on how to efficiently delete unwanted files without accidentally removing anything important. I know my photos are taking up the most space, and I also need to clean out my Gmail. What strategies can I use to select multiple items for deletion while ensuring I keep the critical stuff? I have access to a Windows 11 PC and an Android phone for this task.

It's important to remember that you shouldn't rely solely on cloud storage for critical files. I recommend backing up everything locally on an external drive. That way, you can feel comfortable deleting unnecessary files from your cloud storage.
When I disconnected my Google products from my tablet, I freed up a lot of space. If you've backed up your tablet's data, disconnecting can help you reclaim storage.
You can use Google Takeout to download all your photos in one go. Just keep in mind that the files can come through as a JSON file, which might complicate things a bit when trying to manage data.
Google has a management tool for Google Drive that can help you see what's taking up space. You might find that screenshots and videos from apps like WhatsApp are also backed up there, so it’s worth checking those folders first.
