Ability to remove/delete attachments
Attachments are not always worth keeping, so please add ability to delete selected attachments as an alternative to simply downloading them.

Dear Proton Team, if you prefer, make this an option for paying accounts and not for free accounts, but please do it ! All together, there are at least 550 votes for it !

Now I understand why this feature is not available: without a way to delete attachments you are forced to either delete the entire email message or upgrade to a paid account. With an attachment delete function you could conceivably keep a "free" account alive for many years, if not decades.

Hello,
It is currently impossible to remove attachements in emails. Especially, when archived, I would like to remove some attachments from my emails such as signatures or banners.
Would it be possible to implement this feature in a future version? I know that it is still possible to transfer the email and then remove the attachments there but it's not the most convenient way.
Let's go agile ^^
As a user of Protonmail when I click on the "archive" button, I want to have a pop-up that allows me to delete some attachments from the email prior to archiving it. To not clutter the "archived" folder and inbox storage space with unecessary attachments.
Thanks :)

This feature has to be a significant storage requirement saver for Protonmail.
No? -

This is definitely a key feature !
Removing unnecessary attachments or documents which have been downloaded saves storage space of users and server place for Proton. -

Not needed : just click on the attachment and the X to remove will appear

Absolutely need this. Some companies don't use email signatures properly and I am surprised at how these add up in terms of file space for multiple copies of the same logos which I have zero need for!!

Hello!
One good feature I like in Outlook is the Possibility to delete attached file.
Could you release this feature in ProtonMail?Regards

I agree, deleting attachments would be really good. I’m sure it would save me a lot of space while keeping the email trail.
I worked for a company that had an optional add-on they’d developed for email. It removed all attachments it found in your mail, identified duplicates and put one copy in a database. It added a link into each email where an attachment had been removed so you could easily get to the deleted attachment. Only catch was you couldn’t go back once you’d started. Saved a mass of space.
I ran it about once a month. Some didn’t, some more often.

I totally second this! There are old emails which are definitely worth keeping but their attachments, once downloaded, may be useless, and they take up a lot of essential space
