Important Notes:

• Before deleting all unread emails, make sure you have backed up your important emails or saved them to a separate label.
• Deleting all unread emails will permanently remove them from your inbox and cannot be undone.
• If you have multiple labels or folders, you may need to repeat the process for each label or folder separately.

Remember to exercise caution when deleting large numbers of emails, as it may take some time to complete the process.
