How to Delete Multiple Emails on Gmail
Are you overwhelmed by the number of emails in your Gmail inbox? Do you want to clean up your inbox quickly and efficiently? Deleting multiple emails at once is a great way to declutter your Gmail account. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to delete multiple emails on Gmail.
Step 1: Open Gmail
First, log in to your Gmail account on your computer. If you are using a mobile device, download the Gmail app from the App Store or Google Play Store and log in to your account.
Step 2: Select Multiple Emails
To delete multiple emails, you need to select them first. There are two ways to do this:
– Using the checkbox: Click on the checkbox next to the first email you want to delete. Then, hold down the “Shift” key on your keyboard and click on the checkbox next to the last email you want to delete. This will select all the emails in between, including the first and last ones. If you want to select all emails in your inbox, click on the checkbox in the upper-left corner of the inbox.
– Using the search bar: Enter a search term that will narrow down your results to the emails you want to delete. For example, you can search for “unread” to find all unread emails or “from:[email address]” to find emails from a specific sender. Once you have narrowed down your search results, select the emails you want to delete using the checkbox method described above.
Step 3: Delete Selected Emails
After selecting the emails you want to delete, click on the “More” button (three vertical dots) that appears to the right of the search bar. A dropdown menu will appear. Click on “Delete” to delete the selected emails.
Step 4: Confirm Deletion
A confirmation window will appear asking you to confirm the deletion. Click on “Delete” to confirm and delete the selected emails. The emails will be moved to the trash folder.
Step 5: Empty the Trash Folder
To permanently delete the emails, you need to empty the trash folder. Click on the “More” button next to the search bar and select “Trash.” Then, click on “Empty Trash.” This will permanently delete all the emails in the trash folder.
Conclusion
Deleting multiple emails on Gmail is a simple and straightforward process. By following these steps, you can quickly clean up your inbox and improve your email management. Remember to empty the trash folder regularly to free up space in your Gmail account.
