How to delete gmail inbox all mail at once

Unfortunately, there is no straightforward way to delete all emails in your Gmail inbox at once. Gmail has a limit on the number of emails you can delete in a single action, and it's designed to prevent accidental mass deletions.

However, there are a few workarounds to help you delete a large number of emails quickly:

Method 1: Use the "Select all" feature

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the "Inbox" tab.
  3. Check the box at the top left corner of the page to select all emails in the inbox.
  4. Click on the "Bulk actions" dropdown menu and select "Select all conversations".
  5. Click on the "Delete" button.

This method will delete all emails in your inbox, but it's limited to 500 emails at a time. If you have more than 500 emails, you'll need to repeat the process.

Method 2: Use the "Search" feature

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the "Search" bar at the top of the page.
  3. Type in:inbox to search for all emails in your inbox.
  4. Click on the "Search" button.
  5. Check the box at the top left corner of the page to select all emails in the search results.
  6. Click on the "Bulk actions" dropdown menu and select "Delete".
  7. Confirm that you want to delete the selected emails.

This method will also delete all emails in your inbox, but it's limited to 500 emails at a time.

Method 3: Use a third-party browser extension

There are several browser extensions available that can help you delete multiple emails at once. For example:

These extensions can help you delete multiple emails at once, but be cautious when using them, as they may not be compatible with Gmail's terms of service.

Important note:

Before deleting a large number of emails, make sure you have backed up your important emails and contacts. Deleting emails is permanent and cannot be undone.
