Important Notes:

• Before deleting all emails, make sure you have backed up any important emails or data you want to keep.
• Deleting all emails will permanently remove them from your account and cannot be undone.
• If you're using Gmail's built-in filters or labels, deleting all emails may also delete any associated filters or labels.

Remember to exercise caution when deleting large numbers of emails, as it may take some time to complete the process and may also affect your account's performance.
