A cluttered Inbox can often lead to missing something important, creates stress, and wastes a lot of your precious time when you are searching for emails you need.

*How to delete all emails in the Gmail app*

With the built-in Gmail app features on mobile, unfortunately, you can’t delete all emails at once, what you can do is clean things up by removing multiple emails at once. To do it, you need to:

1. Launch the Gmail mobile app;
2. Tap the icon just to the left of an email to "tick" it and reveal tick boxes for all of the other messages you no longer need;
3. Click the "bin" icon in the top right of your screen.

While this option may seem time-consuming, it’s the best (and the only) option when using the Gmail mobile app.

The browser version of Gmail makes the process a bit easier. To delete all emails at once or just multiple messages, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your Gmail account in your web browser.
2. On the left side of your screen, select "More" (you may have to hover your cursor over the icons on the left of your screen to reveal this option if you are on the desktop).
3. Select the category you want to clean up, generally "All Mail"
4. Click the empty select square on the top left of your screen directly below the Gmail logo. Select the category you want to delete such as "All" or "Unread".
5. Select and click the bin icon to the right of the select square.
6. Click "OK" on the confirmation box.

‼ Be careful here, if you choose the All Mail folder to clean up, you will delete absolutely all emails from your Inbox. The action is irreversible. So, to avoid this, please choose the Inbox folder instead.

*Delete all emails with Clean Email*

If you’re looking for an easier way with more options, you can look at Clean Email. To delete all emails in Gmail using the Clean Email, follow these steps:
2. Select “All mail” on the left pane of the home screen.
3. Click “Select multiple” on the bottom of the screen, then click “Select all”.
4. Click the “Trash” icon and you are done!*

‼️ You should NOT change the option and select 'future emails' too because in this case an automatic rule will be created, which will delete ALL future inbox emails.

Quick warning:
If you choose to delete all emails, it usually means it—an empty Inbox. That's okay if this is the goal. However, if you would like to keep your starred messages, or emails from specific senders— Clean Email can be really useful.

*Selecting emails using filters in Clean Email*

Just use filters, or settings to Excluded Emails in Preferences BEFORE cleaning.

When showing filters, you may also mention (or even show) how to delete multiple emails based on some criteria/filter (like emails older than, or social notifications, etc.—scenarios where smart views or filters can be applied).

And it’s that easy to delete all emails in Gmail at once.

They just need a “delete all emails/gmails” button 🗿

[heatherygraine]

A great improvement would be to search whatever emails you wish to delete from the search bar. And then have the option to delete them all. That would be time saving.

Thanks for nothing. We all know this. What we want is a LITERAL delete all or delete all from selected year

My browser Gmail does not look like that, and doesn't have a select all box at the top. I have to click each one individually and considering there's over 150k in the inbox, this isn't going to work without hours of clicking check boxes. There's got to be another way! My email won't sync since I'm maxed on storage space and I've been dealing with this a week already trying everything I know to try, but one click mass delete is all that's going to be practical.

Wow, thank you much ! Yes, with your help, now I can clean my messy crowded Gmail. God bless you!😅

[nortok]

The app needs the same feature for deleting all emails at once (based on a filter) like the browser version does. There's no reason not to offer this. I hardly use the browser version anymore but I still have to use it to do mass deletions like from subscriptions.

[mariediaz]

Thank you, thank you! You saved me so much time and aggravation!

[curiousme]

I've read everything I can find about how to delete bulk gmails and there's no "down button" or "box" to check like the instructions have said

[tesfalemg.ghebremariyam]

Thank you, it is clear and short ecspretion.

[nekofan]

[DKC]

Just get to it!!!! You are stressing me!

[lisahoward]

When I check the unread box, I don't see the bar that says select all

[ThenGetIdOffUrChest]

My gmail does not look like that, i do not have that box

[ihsuvz]

Do I need a computer to do this? I’m on my iPhone trying to delete all of my 25, 000 emails and I can’t do it. I don’t see the option do delete all emails.

[DJCrisisUK]

This is so convoluted, every other email app/provider ive used has the option to search for a sender, then select all from them and delete, it's not hard to implement it's unnecessary in 2023 to have "work arounds"

[marymyersme]

I do not own a Computer. I have a Very Smart phone, and thousands of unread emails. I wonder if the instructions reviewed, will work on my Smartphone! I will try it out, and report back on my success or failure! Here's to You!😊

[Jared_DaVinci]

I have 23k emails I need help the desktop version won't allow me to delete all either

[yrpjjvl]
