If you’re confident in Google’s AI, you can run a search for “ label:unimportant” to see all of the messages that haven’t been ranked as significant and wipe them all out. Gmail automatically sorts emails by their importance and labels them with a yellow arrow based on the sender, its contents, and how you’ve interacted with emails in the past.
If you want to adjust the weight, just change the number and unit in “10M” as you see fit-use K for kilobytes and nothing for bytes. It’s a good way of identifying the messages (and associated attachments) that are taking up an inordinate amount of room in your Gmail account. For example, run a search for “ older_than:1y” to see all of your emails older than a year, or “ older_than:6m” to see emails older than six months.Īnother handy search you can use is “ larger:10M” which returns emails larger than 10 megabytes in size. If this kind of mass cull of emails seems too drastic for you, that’s fine-Gmail gives you several options for making your deleting a bit more precise.
If you’re absolutely sure about it, you can wipe all these emails right away, by clicking Trash, the Select box (top left), Select all conversations, and Delete forever. Remember that deleted emails stay in the Trash folder for 30 days, so you’ve got a month to bring back any messages that you realize you need to have handy. If you want to throw caution to the wind and get the job done as quickly as possible, click All Mail on the left of the Gmail interface on the web, then the Select box (top left), then Select all conversations and hit the Delete button (the trash can icon). While you can do your bulk erasing in the mobile Gmail app, it’s best to do it on your desktop or laptop computer.
It’s not how you delete, but what you delete
