About the Google Drive Cleaner

Running out of Google storage? Connect your Drive to see what's taking up space: identical duplicate files, the biggest files and old files you've forgotten about. Choose what to remove and it goes to your Drive trash, where you can restore it for 30 days.

Key features

  • Finds identical duplicate files
  • Lists the largest files
  • Finds files untouched for years
  • Storage used by file type
  • Moves files to the trash, restorable for 30 days
  • Runs in your browser; nothing stored on our servers

Free up Google storage in minutes

When Google says your storage is full, Gmail stops receiving email and Photos stops backing up. The fastest wins are usually duplicate uploads, big old videos and backup archives you forgot about. The cleaner finds all three and lets you clear them in one go.

How to free up the most space

  1. Start with Duplicates. Every copy except the oldest is already selected; review and move them to the trash.
  2. Check Large files. Videos and ZIP backups are often several gigabytes each.
  3. Look at Old files. Things untouched for 3 or 5 years are often safe to archive or delete.
  4. Empty the trash in Google Drive to actually free the space.

How to use the Google Drive Cleaner

  2. Enter your entries, numbers or settings, or keep the defaults.
  3. Press the main button (spin, roll, start or generate) and watch the result.
  4. Repeat as often as you like; results are generated fresh each time in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to connect my Google Drive?

The cleaner talks to Google directly from your browser. Your file list never reaches our servers, your sign-in is forgotten when you close the page, and nothing is removed unless you select it and confirm. You can also remove access any time in your Google Account under Security → Third-party connections.

Why does Google say the app isn't verified?

Apps that can manage Drive files must pass Google's verification and a security assessment before Google removes that warning. While that's in progress, you may see a warning screen; continue only if you're comfortable, or use the cleaner later.

How does it find duplicates?

Google stores an MD5 checksum for every uploaded file. Files with the same checksum and size have identical content, even if their names differ. Google Docs, Sheets and Slides have no checksum, so they aren't compared.

Will removing files free up space straight away?

Files moved to the trash still count towards your storage until the trash is emptied, either automatically after 30 days or by you, in Drive's Trash. Shared drives and files shared with you aren't included, because removing them wouldn't free your storage.

My storage is still full. What else uses it?

Your 15 GB of free Google storage is shared between Drive, Gmail and Google Photos. Large email attachments and Photos backups often use more space than Drive itself.

Are the random results fair?

Yes. The wheel, random number generator, coin flip and dice use your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues) with unbiased sampling, so every outcome is equally likely.

Do these tools work offline or on my phone?

They run entirely in your browser and work on phones, tablets and computers. Once a page has loaded, most tools keep working without a connection.

Is anything I type saved on your servers?

No. The notepad saves notes only in your own browser's local storage, and nothing else you enter is stored.
