How to delete gmail messages in bulk 

this is by far one of the most important youtube videos ive come by thank you for this i had 300k mails from my old email and it was hella annoying to delete all of em manually

His instructions were the clearest and most straightforward. Thanks so much!!

Oh my G.... I have been looking for an instructional that wasn't just 100 at a time for a year or two now. Thank you!

*Those 50k + messages were taking my head off, and I was able to watch your video randomly when I turned around without getting a way ❤️🙏 thanks alot*

OMG You are a life saver …. I spent couple hours today deleting just a few hundreds of them 🙄🙄 😂 until I asked a friend who shared this awesome video with me! My unread were pretty close to yours 😁 Thank you so very much! 🙏🏻😄 such a useful and well explained video!

Like others, I've been looking for this solution forever, thank you, Goldy! Subscribed! Also, for taking the time to explain the process so computer dummies like myself could follow your directions. If all other tutorials were presented like yours, I would be way further along in the learning curve. I also have around 62-63k emails, it depresses me, lol. I'll dump dive the trash bin over the next 30 days and save anything worth saving. Made my day. As a side note, I took on, as a hobby, astrophotography, and many times I wonder why. There are plenty of tutorials on UTube, but many authors have a habit of nervously moving the cursor around whereby I can't follow all of their "clicks", including talking too fast detailing various steps in the processing software. It's frustrating for people like me who like to follow the steps or take notes. This is one of the best 48-year wedding anniversaries I ever had.

I am about 6 years late but I have to say thank you. That saved me a fuck ton of time.

I am SO glad to find this video!! I had over 75,000 emails & had already worked for more than an hour deleting in small batches. Thank you VERY MUCH!!

Very helpful! Mine deleted around 3,000-5,000 at a time though-it didn't do all of them at once (I had 29K). I had to delete them multiple times, but this is still the most helpful way to get ride of those messages.

6 year old video and it still works, simple and straight to the point thanks brotha 🙏

I was finding this kind of option to delete these many messages at once , Thank you.

You sir, are a life saver, I have 80k emails that i wanted to delate, now with 2 clicks all gone. Thanks so much!.

Wonderful feeling of emptiness. Thank you so much

Omg I was doing this for 10 min and only was able to delete 400 emails, but then I found your video and you just save my day. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much!!! I was deleting like 100 at times. I wondered there has to be another way, and your post made my life so much easier!!! Thank you! wonderful video thumbs up!

Wow, Man!!!! My hero.... I was dying deleting freaking 50 at time. Just got rid of almost 12,000 messages!!! Loved it!!! Thank you so much!!!!

OMG! Thank you!! I had over 45,000 emails and this worked!! It worked quicker than I thought. I have now set a reminder on my phone to go into my emails every 2 hours to delete emails, hopefully to stay on top of it.😊

FINALLY 18,000 EMAILS DELETED THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Finally an easy way of deleting messages. I have managed to delete my 18000messages. Thanks a lot.

thank you it was a real hassle to delete 50 by 50 mails among thousands of them, this method is a time and nerve saver. thank you

I was using my email since early 2008 with my brother and we never deleted the emails, until he handed me over our account. And I had the needs to delete. It was filled up to 50k. This helped me out a lot!

OMG, Thank you sooooo much! I had around 15,500 emails. I felt so overwhelmed. trying to delete them. You are an angel! Merci

thanks for this video! also, thanks to all of the other people replying. It makes me not feel so terrible. I've finally found my people! lol everyone else I know always shakes their head at me. I just had so much junk mail and I finally unsubscribed to most of it today. I went from 79K to 0!! so happy!!! NEVER AGAIN! lol

Dude, thank you. WTH have I not known this for the last 10 years.

concise and perfect explanation... 23k mails deleted in under 5 mins .. Thank you !!

You just saved me hours...days....weeks...months of my life...thank you, thank you, thank you....just bulk deleted 85k messages...looking to get rid of another 60k...

Thanks for the info! Not only did it erase all my 17,000+ emails but it also saved all 1800+ emails I have read!!

Thank you very much been struggling to bulk delete for months. Finally I could get rid of 11 000 emails THANK YOU

Thank you! Very helpful, clear and I could actually see what you were doing and follow it. So appreciated! I got rid of 219 thousand emails! I had emails from 2012.

My husband stopped using his Gmail years ago. This gentleman helped me delete thousands of unwanted emails in just a few minutes, probably quicker if you don’t have so many. 😀

This is one of the most satisfying things ever, over 50 000 emails gone! This makes me wonder, how were we communicating before emails?! :')

Thank you , finally my mailbox is free from unnecessary mails

Very good instructions and they worked. 3k e-mails, all gone!

this works perfectly, also, if you want only delete, for example, all tweeter mails, search from:tweeter you can combine it with unreads from:tweeter is:unread And so on, i used this method for cleaning my mail

Best instruction for this on RU-vid. Very clear and straightforward. Thanks. 🇬🇧

I figured out my problem I just posted below this. I changed the search to- older_than:1y. This kept the past years worth of emails, and also gave me the "Select all conversations that match this search" option. This put them in the Trash file, which I then emptied. Now I'm down to about 3K emails (the last years worth). Thank you for this info.

Thank you so much! I was able to delete 4500 emails all at once. Very helpful video.

Over 14,000 emails cleared. Thanks so much, man.

Thanks! It was driving me crazy trying to figure out how to clean up old emails.

Thank you very much. Quite simple instructions compared to other websites that tell us to follow complicated instructions to delete emails in bulk.

What an amazing tip! I've looked for years for this solution! It actually only let me delete about 10K at a time but it's way better than 100 at a time.

Thank you for posting this video! This still works even in the new Gmail format. Saved my sanity. Bookmarked!

That was awesome...UI looks a bit different currently but the info was enough to get the job done. Thanks Goldy!!

What a great video, i deleted all unread emails older than 6 months!

Wow! Thanks, great advice. Took seconds to delete my 11k messages. I used to do 50 every time. It helped me a lot❤️. Thanks again❤️

Thank you soooooo much, I had 66,000 and now none! So glad to free up space, gmail was threatening cutting me off but now I have space.

Thank you, this is great! I really like your pace and content. One side note- on the iPad, my inbox didn’t look anything like yours. I finally found a place at the very bottom left hand side where I could select “desktop”. Then the regular inbox was back. Look forward to watching more of your content.

I have looked for a solution forever!!!! Thank you soooo much.

AWESOME! I had been deleting 100 at a time for several days now, and gotten down under 30,000 .... that was so boring! Then I discovered this video. 3 minutes later, and the folder is empty! :D

thank you very much, short, simple and straightforward to the point.

Such a helpful video. Thank you so much! After many minutes of deleting messages, it would have taken hours to delete them all. You saved me so much time! THANK YOU!!!! :D

Right there in front of my face the whole time, thank you!

THANK YOU! Exactly what I'd been searching for.

I followed instructions but it still only deleted 1 page at a time? What did I do wrong?

Thank you so much 😊.. big help..I shared this video with my family and friends as well .

my email does not have the pop up "all conversations in this search are selected" I also don't have the pop up that says confirm bulk action

thank you so much sir for this helpful video. Actually I was bored by deleting 50 by 50 mails. thanks once again....

OMG 😃 I was really worried that how much time I need to delete my unread emails but in just seconds boooom 😁😁 thanks this video is really helpful 😊

OMG!! A Million Thanks For THIS Sanity SAVER!! I AM Forever GRATEFUL To YOU!! 🕉🏵🧡🙏🧡🏵🕉

Just saw your answer below. Worked perfectly! Thank you.

I JUST DELETED 44K (yes, 44.000) E MAIL, THANK U SO MUCH!. i love u, and i don't even like mans. srsly, thank u so much again.

24,000 messages deleted. All thanks to you 😇🙏

Extremely helpful, I've never noticed that link before. Thank you so much

Dude! Saved my wallet! I was about to by extra storage even though 10,000 conversations in my Gmail were all junk/spam.

Hey there Goldy, thank you so much for this informative video. I have finally been able to bulk delete emails. Thom

Thank you. I spent days trying to figure this out. I have ove 150,000 old emails.

This man is a legend, thank you very much

Thank you I deleted 41000+ messages in couple of clicks.

Thank you so much! I have been trying to figure this out forever.

Still works till date. 🎉 Thanks man!

Hi, Goldy. I think my Gmail is defective because it never displayed the "SELECT ALL CONVERSATIONS IN THIS SEARCH". I have a PC laptop running 64-byte WIndows 10. I have over 100,000 e-mails I need to delete. I also tried typing in older_than:1m but that didn't display the "SELECT ALL CONVERSATIONS IN THIS SEARCH" either. What can I do?

You're a life saver!!! Its like having a fresh start lol

Very helpful, thank you. Not easy to figure out how to delete in bulk. Google certainly has not made this clear like you have...

Wow!!! You saved me today. Thank you very much!!!

Very useful still works. I found you had to wait a bit and let it select everything first.

Thank you Goldy, very useful, greetings from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

A million Thanks Goldv Arora. You are awesome!

Thank You Bhai......Finally i have done that with your help....Thank You So Much...

Thank you for the great advice, Goldy! Worked great!

Thank you! Been trying to find how to do this forever. Now what I need is how to delete within a range of dates. I've seen instructions, but they don't work. I'll look to see what you've got.

Thank you so much, Goldy. When I did it, there was nothing that said 'select all conversations that match this..." or the "are you sure you want to delete them?" However, I was still able to delete them. Has the system changed?

Thank you so so much...... You're a lifesaver... It was very helpful

you saved me from buying storage men, well done we need more videos like this :)

Thanks, finally start my email inbox fresh again.

Thanks so much! This is making the process so much easier for me rather than deleting 100 emails at a time. Do you have a tutorial on this method for yahoo email?

wow amazing thank you near five thousand just deleted, so glad i searched! applauso!

7 Years later and this still works.

Omg thank you so much. 😭. Big help. These things can be so overwhelming.

You are a blessing. Thank you so much for this video. I got read and unread and spam done today. Over 174 THOUSAND messages...omg I never had an email that did this before. And I have two..a google email that runs a day behind so it's all double work plus my working up to date google email so I don't understand why this is happening with google when I switched from yahoo....anyway it took some time but done. Thank you again. But I do not understand why two accounts and one not working right so it is doubling up on me every day !!!!!!! ugh

ohh thank you soo much dude i also deleted 83 thousand emails after watching your video

You save me so much work today I had 16,000 messages I was going crazy deleting them 100 at a time LOL thank you for this video

Dear Goldy! this was wonderful! thanks for your help. I'm starting the New Year with an unloaded Inbox. Happy New Year!

Goldy - you are awesome! Thank you so much!

Legend! I am also going to watch a vast amount of your other videos, that caught my interest!

for some reason mine only deletes in a batch of 100 now. i think gmail has changed this

Lifesaver!!! Wish I could give more thumbs-ups

Thanks Goldy, deleted 30K email at a time

Thanks very much! so much better than deleting them page by page !

Very grateful for this simple solution.

Thank You! 🙏 You showed me the path. You da Pathleader!
