How to bulk delete certain types of emails on Gmail?<\/h2>\n
Deleting emails on Gmail can be quite complicated. However, it turns out that deleting some or all types of emails is still possible. Let's learn about advanced email deletion techniques on Gmail by category, labels, data range, sender and read\/unread.<\/p>\n
Delete by category<\/h3>\n
Over the years, Gmail has evolved a lot. It now categorizes emails into various \u201ccategories\u201d such as promotions, updates, social networks and forums, among others. Here's how to bulk delete emails on Gmail by category.<\/p>\n
\n
Go to Gmail.<\/strong><\/li>\n
On the left side, where the navigation panel is, search “Categories”<\/strong> this should reveal various emails by category.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Tap any category<\/strong>And checkbox in the upper left corner<\/strong> has select all <\/strong>emails on that particular page. [For instance, I selected \u2018Social\u2019].<\/strong><\/li>\n
You can expand it to select all emails from the given category. [For instance, I had 54 emails in the \u2018Social\u2019 category].<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Hit it 'Garbage can'<\/strong> icon in the actions tab at the top of emails.<\/li>\n
Finally, go to 'Garbage can'<\/strong> and get rid of deleted emails. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Delete certain people's emails<\/h3>\n
Gmail's search box is powerful enough to help you narrow down your search for any query. Likewise, you can delete emails from certain people or entities. All you need to know is the email address of the person\/company in question. Here's how you'll purge these specific emails.<\/p>\n
\n
First, open Gmail <\/strong>on your browser.<\/li>\n
There is a search bar on top web page<\/strong> (not the URL bar).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You must type “has:[name]\u00bb <\/strong>of the person\/entity you want to search for email addresses and add “Since:[name\u201d<\/strong>. [Without using the quotation marks].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Once you have a list, you can filter by time, attachments, calendar updates, etc.<\/strong>. <\/li>\n
Otherwise, just press the 'Select all conversations matching this search' <\/strong>and this should purge all emails here.<\/li>\n
You should delete these emails from 'Garbage can' <\/strong>Or 'Garbage can'<\/strong> manually but that's it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Delete by date range<\/h3>\n
If you have emails from half a decade ago, the question is: will you need them? I do not think so. You can always separate important emails and store them elsewhere, but the majority of these dated emails are trash. Here's how to filter emails by date and delete them before the inbox reaches maximum capacity.<\/p>\n
\n
Open Gmail<\/strong> on your browser.<\/li>\n
Go to the search bar and type the date using this command<\/strong> \u2013 “Before:[date]\u00bb<\/strong> Or “After:[date]”.<\/strong> Dates must be within \u201cD\/M\/YYYY\u201d <\/strong>Or \u201cD\/MYYYY\u201d <\/strong>format. Just one year would be good too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Once Gmail finds the emails as shown, you can select the ones that might be of any importance and move them to other categories or label them.<\/li>\n
Finally, tap “Select all conversations that match this search”<\/strong> and viola, everything is gone.<\/li>\n
You can continue reset date range <\/strong>to get rid of many emails from other dates, for example since you created the account 2-3 years before today.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Delete by tags<\/h3>\n
Labels on Gmail are practically placeholders where you can keep all the important emails. Just one click on any label and you get a list of emails that you have separated into that particular label. Here's how.<\/p>\n
\n
Open Gmail <\/strong>on your Internet browser.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Go into the 'Labels<\/strong>' on the navigation panel on the left side.<\/li>\n
Press the particular 'Label<\/strong>' which gives you a list of email conversations in that particular label.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Select all emails and tap “Select all X conversations from this search”<\/strong> and hit “DELETE”<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Delete by read\/unread<\/h3>\n
Your Gmail inbox may have thousands of emails, but you certainly haven't read every email. These \u201cunread\u201d emails are the least important or downright useless according to popular consensus. Here's how to complete this process. <\/p>\n
\n
Open Gmail <\/strong>on your web browser which will open the 'Mailbox'<\/strong> by default.<\/li>\n
In addition to email conversations, there is a box<\/strong> with a drop-down arrow<\/strong>. If you click on the drop-down box, you should see several options. Select 'Read' <\/strong>Or ” Unread “. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
Alternately,<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
You can search \u201cis: unread\u201d<\/strong> (the majority of unread emails are generally useless) or “is read” <\/strong>(it may be important to take a look at the emails before continuing).<\/li>\n
Once you have selected these emails, click on the 'Garbage can' <\/strong>icon and this is where all emails will be deleted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You can go to 'Garbage can'<\/strong> and get rid of deleted emails. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Wrap!<\/h2>\n
Here are some ways to bulk delete emails on Gmail. By doing this, you should be able to get rid of the majority of unwanted and unnecessary emails piling up in your inbox. This should also free up disk space that you can use to store photos and videos with the saved space. <\/p>\n
