How to delete all gmail mails

A bold move!

Before we proceed, please note that deleting all your Gmail emails will permanently remove them from your account, and you won't be able to recover them. Make sure you're certain about this decision.

That being said, here are the steps to delete all your Gmail emails:

Method 1: Using the Gmail Web Interface

  1. Log in to your Gmail account on the web.
  2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
  3. Scroll down to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
  4. Click on the "Create a new filter" button.
  5. In the "From" field, enter @gmail.com (without quotes).
  6. Click on the "Create filter" button.
  7. In the "Apply the label" dropdown menu, select "Delete it."
  8. Click on the "Create" button.

This will delete all emails in your Gmail account. If you want to delete emails from a specific label or folder, you can modify the filter accordingly.

Method 2: Using the Gmail API

If you're comfortable with coding, you can use the Gmail API to delete all emails. You'll need to:

  1. Enable the Gmail API in the Google Cloud Console.
  2. Create a new project and enable the Gmail API.
  3. Create a service account and generate a private key file.
  4. Install the Google API Client Library for your preferred programming language.
  5. Use the library to authenticate with the Gmail API and delete all emails.

Here's an example in Python using the google-api-python-client library:

import os
import json
from google.oauth2.credentials import Credentials
from googleapiclient.discovery import build

# Set up authentication
creds = Credentials.get_credentials()
service = build('gmail', 'v1', credentials=creds)

# Delete all emails
response = service.users().messages().list(userId='me').execute()
messages = response.get('messages', [])

for message in messages:
    service.users().messages().delete(userId='me', id=message['id']).execute()

Method 3: Using a Third-Party Tool

There are several third-party tools available that can help you delete all your Gmail emails. Some popular options include:

  1. SaneBlackhole: A Chrome extension that allows you to delete all emails in your Gmail account.
  2. Gmail Cleaner: A web-based tool that can delete emails from your Gmail account.
  3. Email Cleaner: A desktop application that can delete emails from your Gmail account.

Please note that using third-party tools may pose security risks, and you should exercise caution when using them.

Remember, deleting all your Gmail emails is a permanent action, and you should only do so if you're certain about it.
