In one click, you can literally delete upwards of thousands of messages, ensuring that all of them meet some specific criteria for deletion.
It’s really that simple.
How do I Know Which Emails to Delete?
The question for most Gmail users is, “how do I know which emails to delete?”
There are several approaches here, none of which are strictly right or wrong, but I’d suggest using one or more of the following dimensions to narrow down your inbox: Date. Do you really need the messages you sent back and forth in 2011? By utilizing the date feature, you can quickly call up all emails that were sent or received before a certain date, allowing you to make your inbox more contemporarily relevant.
Size. If you’re brushing up against your upper storage limit, one of your best bets is to filter emails based on size. You can call up all emails above a certain size, such as 3 MB, and delete them all at once or manually review them, downloading the important attachments before getting rid of them altogether.
Attachments. Similarly, you can filter emails based on whether they have an attachment or not. Attachments tend to be the worst offenders in terms of email size, and they’re easy to review without downloading them individually.
Subject lines. In some cases, you may be able to weed out emails based on their subject line. For example, if you received a ton of emails about a certain project, but that project is now over, you could delete every email with the name of the project in the subject line.
Senders. If you have a former client with whom you’re never working again, or if there’s an employee no longer with the company, you can call up every email they sent you and delete them en masse. Be careful here. Gmail’s parameters are precise, but there’s a chance you could be forgetting about an important email that happens to match one of the qualifications you’ve chosen.
Always double check before hitting “delete” for good. If you need to recover a deleted email, see our guide on .
