What is how to delete multiple emails in gmail?

Deleting multiple emails in Gmail can be done using several methods:

• Selecting Multiple Emails Manually:

  • In your inbox, or any other label, check the box next to each email you want to delete.
  • After selecting the emails, click the "Delete" (trash can) icon at the top.
  • This method is suitable for deleting a small number of emails.

• Selecting All Emails on a Page:

  • Above your email list, there's a checkbox. If you click it, Gmail will select all emails currently displayed on that page.
  • If you have multiple pages of emails, you'll need to repeat this process for each page.
  • After selecting them, click the "Delete" icon.

• Selecting All Emails Matching a Search:

  • Use the search bar at the top to find emails based on sender, subject, or keywords. For example, you can search for "from:example@domain.com" to find emails from a specific sender.
  • After searching, click the checkbox above your email list to select all emails on the page that match the search.
  • A message will appear at the top, saying "All X conversations on this page are selected." Click the link that says "Select all conversations that match this search".
  • Then, click the "Delete" icon. This will delete all emails that match your search criteria.

• Using Filters for Automatic Deletion:

  • Create a filter to automatically delete emails based on specific criteria (e.g., sender, subject). Go to Settings -> Filters and Blocked Addresses -> Create a new filter.
  • Enter your criteria and click "Create filter."
  • On the next page, check the box that says "Delete it". This will automatically delete any future emails that match the filter's criteria. Be careful, as this is permanent.

• Important Considerations:

  • Deleting emails is permanent. They will be moved to the Trash folder, where they will be automatically deleted after 30 days. You can manually empty the Trash folder to delete them immediately.
  • Be careful when using the "Select all conversations that match this search" option, as it can delete a large number of emails at once.
  • Consider backing up important emails before deleting them, especially if you are unsure about the content.
