How to delete all messages on google mail

To delete all messages on Google Mail (Gmail), you can follow these steps:

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 of the page.
  3. Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Scroll down to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
  5. Click on the "Create a new filter" button.
  6. In the "From" field, enter "me" (without quotes).
  7. Click on the "Create filter" button.
  8. In the "Apply the label" dropdown menu, select "Delete it".
  9. Click on the "Create" button.

This will delete all messages in your inbox, including any labels or filters you may have applied.

Method 2: Using the Gmail Mobile App

  1. Open the Gmail app on your mobile device.
  2. Tap on the three horizontal lines () in the top left corner of the screen.
  3. Tap on "Settings" from the menu.
  4. Scroll down to the "General" section.
  5. Tap on "Clear search history".
  6. Confirm that you want to clear your search history by tapping "OK".

This will delete all search history and messages in your inbox, including any labels or filters you may have applied.

Method 3: Using the Gmail API

If you have a large number of messages and want to delete them programmatically, you can use the Gmail API. You'll need to:

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

Here's an example of how you might use the Gmail API to delete all messages in a user's inbox using Python:

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)

# Get the user's inbox messages
messages = service.users().messages().list(userId='me').execute()
messages = messages.get('messages', [])

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

Note that deleting all messages in your inbox will permanently remove them from your account, so be sure to back up any important messages before doing so.
