This is useful if your Gmail inbox is full. This works regardless of your inbox type (default, Important First, Priority, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to your inbox<\/li><li>Above the tabs or message listing, click on the box in the menu <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"78\" height=\"36\" class=\"wp-image-45\" style=\"width: 78px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.webrankinfo.com\/tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/gmail-case-selection.png\" alt=\"Gmail selection box\"> in order to automatically select all messages displayed on the screen<\/li><li>If you have more messages than those listed, Gmail will offer to expand the selection to all of them, in the form of a sentence like &#8220;All 50 conversations on this page are selected. Select all 8,368 conversations&#8221;. In this case, click on this link.<\/li><li>Click the trash icon \ud83d\uddd1  to delete all selected messages Gmail trash icon<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Your messages will be placed in the trash; if you want to delete them permanently, go to the trash and click <strong>Empty Trash<\/strong>. If you do nothing, they will be deleted after about 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webrankinfo.com\/tips\/gmail\/sign-out\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"73\">how to log out of Gmail<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-delete-all-gmail-messages-in-bulk\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-delete-all-gmail-messages-in-bulk\"><\/span>How to Delete all Gmail Messages in Bulk?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To delete all Gmail messages at once, the trick is to delete all the results of a special search that lists 100% of your emails. You have 3 ways to do this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>in the search box, type &#8220;all&#8221; (without quotes) and validate<\/li><li>or in the side menu bar, click on <strong>More<\/strong> then on <strong>All messages<\/strong><\/li><li>or click on <a href=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/u\/0\/?pli=1&amp;hl=en#all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">this link<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, follow the steps 2 to 4 indicated above.
