While there are a lot of methods to help you manage the clutter in your inbox, often what helps the most is deleting messages you know you don't need. But you don't want to delete your unwanted Gmail email messages one-by-one. That's too time-consuming.
A better idea is to mass delete emails in Gmail. Here's what to do:
1. Start With Gmail Open
Open your Gmail inbox. It'll most likely look something like this:
As you can see, this Gmail email inbox is pretty full. Notice the checkboxes to the left of your messages.
Fortunately, you can mass delete emails in Gmail.
2. Select the Gmail Messages You Want to Delete
Click the checkbox next to each message you want to delete, like this:
When you've selected all the messages you want to delete, click the Trash icon (it looks like a trash can) on the Tools menu to send the messages to your trash folder. To delete all the messages on the screen, place a checkbox next to every message before you click the Trash icon. (You could also perform other toolbar operations on the selected messages including Move and Archive.)
Note: You're limited to working with visible Gmail messages only. If you've got more than one screen of unwanted Gmail messages, you'll have to deal with each screen separately.
3. Undelete Mass Deleted Messages
Once in a while, you may change your mind about your bulk Gmail message deletion. Often (but not always), the Gmail deletion can be undone.
The first opportunity you get to undo your bulk Gmail deletion is immediately after you perform the operation. For a short time, you'll see an Undo prompt at the top of your inbox:
Click the Undo link in the prompt to undelete your messages.
