How to Delete All Emails in Gmail


To delete all emails in Gmail, you can use a combination of filters and the bulk select option. Follow these steps:

Open your Gmail account in a web browser.

In the search bar at the top, click on the downward-facing arrow to open the advanced search options.

Leave the search bar empty and click on the "Search" button. This will display all emails in your Gmail account.

On the top left of the Gmail interface, you will see a checkbox just below the search bar. Click on it to select all the emails on the current page.

If you want to select all emails in your Gmail account, look for a message that says, "All 50 conversations on this page are selected. Select all conversations that match this search." Click on the text that says "Select all conversations that match this search." This will select all the emails in your Gmail account.

Once all emails are selected, you will see a message at the top that says, "All 50 conversations on this page are selected. Select all XXX conversations in Inbox." Click on the text that says "Select all XXX conversations in Inbox." This will select all the emails in your Gmail account, regardless of the number.

With all emails selected, click on the trash bin icon (Delete) at the top of the Gmail interface. This will move all selected emails to the trash folder.

To permanently delete the emails from the trash folder, go to the left sidebar and click on "Trash." Once in the trash folder, click on the "Empty Trash now" link at the top of the page. Confirm the action when prompted.

Please note that deleting all emails in your Gmail account is a permanent action, and once deleted, the emails cannot be recovered. Ensure that you have backed up any important emails or data before proceeding.
