Definition
💡 Bulk deleting means to delete many emails at once. This involves selecting several or all messages, either manually or using a filter, and then deleting them all at one time.
This is a common action for performing a quick cleanup of your inbox or a folder to remove unwanted messages.
Examples for Gmail
For a complete removal of emails, you can easily delete all emails in Gmail on the website or using the mobile app by doing one of the following in your inbox:
- On the web, mark the Select box and click Delete in the top toolbar.
- In the mobile app, long-press any message, mark the Select box at the top, and tap Delete.
Note that you won’t be asked to confirm, but you will see a brief Undo option to immediately reverse the action.
Bulk deleting emails in Clean Email
Bulk deleting emails isn’t solely for Gmail users. With Clean Email, you can mass delete messages from your inbox or a folder for your connected Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo account. Plus, you can do so on the web, in the desktop application, and using the mobile app with the same steps.
- Open Clean Email and select a folder in the menu.
- Pick Select at the top and then mark multiple messages or choose Select All.
- Click Trash or Delete options in the blue Action Bar and then hit Confirm.
