The dreaded task of mass deleting emails in Gmail!

Before we dive into the process, please note that Gmail has a limit of 50,000 emails that can be deleted at once. If you have more than 50,000 emails to delete, you'll need to break them up into smaller batches.

Here are the steps to mass delete emails in Gmail:

Method 1: Using the Gmail search bar

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the search bar at the top of the page.

  4. Press Enter to execute the search.
  5. In the search results page, click on the "Select all conversations in this search" checkbox at the top left corner of the page.
  6. Click on the "Bulk actions" dropdown menu and select "Delete".

Method 2: Using the Gmail labels

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Create a new label by clicking on the "Labels" button at the top of the page and selecting "New label".
  3. Name the label something like "Delete me" or "Old emails".
  4. Apply the label to the emails you want to delete by searching for them, selecting them, and then clicking on the "Labels" button and selecting the label you just created.
  5. Once you've applied the label to all the emails you want to delete, go to the "Labels" page by clicking on the "Labels" button at the top of the page.
  6. Click on the "Bulk actions" dropdown menu and select "Delete".
