We all know the feeling of having an overloaded inbox filled with hundreds or even thousands of emails that we no longer need. Deleting these emails manually can be time-consuming and tedious. Fortunately, Gmail offers a convenient way to mass delete emails in just a few simple steps.
Step 1: Log in to Your Gmail Account
The first step in deleting all emails on Gmail is to log in to your Gmail account using your email address and password. Once you’re logged in, you’ll have access to your inbox and all of your emails.
Step 2: Select All Emails
To select all emails in your inbox, look for the checkbox located at the top of your inbox, just to the left of the refresh button. Click on this checkbox to select all emails displayed on the current page.
Step 3: Click “Select all X conversations in Primary”
After clicking on the checkbox, you’ll see a blue text that reads “Select all X conversations in Primary.” Click on this text to select all conversations in your primary inbox. This will ensure that you are selecting all emails, not just the ones currently displayed on the page.
Step 4: Delete the Selected Emails
Once you have selected all emails in your inbox, it’s time to delete them. To do this, locate the delete button, which is represented by a trash can icon. Click on this button to move all selected emails to the trash folder.
Step 5: Empty the Trash
Deleting emails only moves them to the trash folder, where they will be permanently deleted after 30 days. If you want to remove them immediately, go to the trash folder and click on the “Empty trash now” option to permanently delete all emails.
In Conclusion
Deleting all emails on Gmail doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By following these simple steps, you can quickly and efficiently clear out your inbox and start fresh. Remember to regularly declutter your inbox to keep it organized and free from unnecessary emails.
