How can i clean out my gmail inbox quickly

• I want to add tool tips to explain features in details in my pricing table.
• In this video, I will show you how I delete 62,000 messages with just couple of clicks and made my Gmail inbox clean.
• This will work in both Gmail and Google Workspace (formerly G Suite)

1. Filter Emails

• To get started, log into your Gmail inbox as you'd always do.

• And while you're in your inbox, type "is:unread" in the search bar and perform a search.

• This will let you filter your email and only show unread messages.

2. Select all messages

• Next, check a little box under the the search bar to select all displayed messages.

• Now you notice in my case I have over 62,000 emails however, only 100 conversations are selected.

• This is because by default Gmail displays 100 messages per page. So in our next step I show you how you select all the unread conversations.

3. Select all Conversations

• So to select all messages (62,556 for my case) that match the search criteria of "unread", click on "Select all conversations that match this search" link.

• This selects all unread messages in your inbox.

4. Delete all Messages

• Now you're ready to delete all unread messages in your Gmail inbox.
• Go a head and click on the trash icon. Gmail will then ask you to confirm your action, just click "OK" and you're done.

• After confirming deletion, it may take some time for Gmail to trash all the emails. This depends on the number of messages, in my case it took about 2-3 minutes.

5. Empty Trash

• So after you've deleted emails from your inbox, Gmail stores them in the trash from where they're automatically deleted after 30 days.

• You can go a head and empty the trash yourself. To do so, just head over to your trash and click on "Empty Trash now" link, then confirm deletion.

• And that is it! I hope it was helpful, if you have any question go ahead and leave them in the comment section below and I'll be happy to help. Thank you!
