You can unsend a Gmail attachment by enabling the Undo Send feature. Go to Gmail Settings, under the General tab, find Undo Send, and set a cancellation period (5-30 seconds). After sending, you’ll have that duration to click ‘Undo’ to retract the entire email, including attachments. This feature is a catch-all for email recall, making Gmail a bit more forgiving for hasty mistakes.
