You should start clearing out your inbox by looking at all of your email newsletter subscriptions. In the past, I've been guilty of subscribing to way too many newsletters and cluttering my inbox. What started out as a great way to read interesting things has ended up as yet another chore that I just cannot keep up with. At some point, you've got to let those unread newsletters go. You can start by manually unsubscribing from the newsletters you're not going to read. Alternatively, you can move these subscriptions to a different email address, so you can keep one inbox just for reading.
You can also try using read-later apps to receive and read your newsletters. I'm using Readwise Reader these days, and it's allowed me to read so much more than I did when these emails were ending up in my email inbox. If your problem is that you're subscribed to too many promotional emails that are basically junk, then you can also consider using Gmail's built-in tools to unsubscribe from promotional mailing lists.
Use as many filters as you can

Use advanced search to find junk mail
I am quite embarrassed to admit that when I was younger, I sent all my friends and family members way too many forwards. My inbox still has forwards from that time, quite a few of which I'd also sent to over 50 people in one go. I may have been responsible for a lot junk mail, but it's never too late to atone for your sins. If you click the three lines icon to the right of the search bar in Gmail, you'll see the service's advanced search options. You can use those options to look for emails from specific date ranges and get rid of ancient clutter that's no longer useful (after you're done cringing, that is). Alternatively, you can just use a search filter to find those emails. Try something like after:2006/1/1 before:2007/1/2 to locate all your emails sent in 2006.
Using advanced search tools is easier than filters, because it doesn't require you to remember various search operators. It also makes more of those search tools accessible, which makes it a great way to delete old emails from your inbox. If only I could delete them from other people's inboxes, too.
Attack useless emails at the source

When you see an important email, you can click the arrow icon, which will turn yellow. This marks the email as important, and over time, Gmail will keep those emails in your inbox, and send the rest to other folders.
Delete emails in Spam and Trash folders
Gmail is pretty good at automatically blocking spam, which means that a lot of unwanted emails will end up in your Spam folder. Similarly, if you've been following the steps described above, you'll have a bunch of emails in your Trash folder. This is helpful, but you won't see any real changes to your Gmail storage space until you clear out all those emails. To do this, manually go to these folders, select all the emails you want to get rid of, and delete them all. Don't forget to check if you're deleting any important emails, because emails deleted from these folders cannot be retrieved.Also be sure to check on these folders at least once a month, because Google will automatically delete any messages that have been sitting in them for more than 30 days.
Clean up Gmail space quickly
Credit: Pranay ParabMy colleague David Nield's tip about turning emails into tasks has helped me a lot. When you open an email, you can click the Add to Tasks button up top, which adds it to Google Tasks, and turns that email into a to-do item. This helps me keep track of emails that would otherwise get lost. This way, I can easily save the most important emails and delete the rest. So much of cleaning up Gmail clutter revolves around active email management, and this tip just helps me quickly get rid of useless emails on a day-to-day basis.
