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

I am a premium user and I am surprised that this feature is missing. Please add the possibility to delete attachments.

Deleting the attachments from e-mails shall be a basic functionality. I am a paid user and I am surprised that I must either keep the entire e-mail correspondence together with big attachments or delete all e-mails. Please improve it at once.

Hi, this feature has recently been added in Posteo and it is really useful (save storage, good for planete..!). I hope protonmail will offer a similar function.

Outlook can do this. I think it will be nice if protonmail can too :)

Sometimes we have userfull email but with useless attachment(s)

I also agree with D's comments about combining votes related to this request, and to having the ability to remove each attachment individually. I've really been missing this feature right from the start. It's a key-feature of an Emailapplication. Working on this feature will stop me from looking for other emailproviders, like Eudora.

+10 This basic feature is important. On a worldwide level unnecessary data storage equals high co2 emissions.

This feature request has been asked for ages - 2016- and there doesn't seem to be anything done by your developers.

This may be a deal-breaker for me when it comes to renewing my annual subscription. For a modern email system, having a calendar and even encrypted storage is fantastic, but some basic functions within email really do need to be addressed. Being able to delete large attachment but retail the email text is a *basic* feature that every email system should allow without resorting to workarounds or 3rd party solutions

I'm suspecting protonmail is not implement this remove attachment request (requested since at least 2017) on purpose to increase the chance of non paying accounts to reach their space limit and then upgrade to a paying account?

Yes please. While I certainly expect to up my Plus account, I'd like to remove some huge and highly invaluable attachments. Also for browsing speed and ease for backup/export.
