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 have multiple labels or filters set up in your account, deleting all emails may also delete emails that are filtered or labeled.
• If you're using Gmail's built-in filters or labels, you may want to consider creating a new label or filter to move emails to a separate folder instead of deleting them.

Remember to exercise caution when deleting all emails in your Gmail account, as this action is permanent and cannot be undone.
