So yes, you may ask - why would I need to, since Gmail offers so much space? Well, my reason is that I often like to download everything from Gmail onto disk, and this is where I'd like to delete attachments.
To delete an attachment in Gmail without deleting the original message, follow these steps:
1. Open the email with the attachment you want to delete.
2. Hover your mouse over the attachment and click on the small "X" that appears on the right side.
3. A pop-up window will appear asking if you want to remove the attachment. Click "Remove" to confirm.
4. The attachment will be deleted, but the original message will remain intact.
Unfortunately, there is no option to delete multiple attachments at once in Gmail. You will need to delete each attachment individually by following the steps mentioned in the answer to question 1.
No, deleting an attachment in Gmail will not affect the original message for the recipient. The attachment will only be removed from your copy of the email, and the recipient will still be able to see and access the attachment.
Yes, you can permanently delete attachments in Gmail by following these steps:
1. Open the email with the attachment you want to delete.
2. Click on the downward arrow next to the attachment and select "Download."
3. Once the attachment is downloaded, click on the small "X" on the right side to delete it.
4. A pop-up window will appear asking if you want to remove the attachment. Click "Remove" to confirm.
5. The attachment will be permanently deleted from your Gmail account.
If you have permanently deleted an attachment in Gmail, it cannot be recovered. However, if you have only removed the attachment from your copy of the email, the recipient may still have the attachment and can send it back to you if needed.
