Thank you, Timmy, I am going to have fun decluttering my Gmail inbox now!!!

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Have fun!

[@juanvaldes2458]

WOW! Thank you so much. I had been doing it the hard way. After neglecting to delete unwanted Emails for several months (I get about 30 to 50 a day from people I have purchased from) I had quite a backlog of unwanted emails to delete. You have helped me immensely.

Thank you for the bulk delete tip. I had many old promotional emails. You saved me a lot of time.

This was brilliant. Thank you! Timmy, can you do a video on how you put your image in the circle on the bottom of the screen and switch back to full view. I really liked the format you used. Thanks.

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Thanks, I could maybe make a video on that in the future, but it is fairly difficult because you need quite a high featured video editing app, so I'm a little worried it wouldn't be of much interest to a lot of my audience.

[@ArtLeeG]

I've tried different devices and there is no box to 'select all'. I've tried it in the browser as well as the Gmail app. Do i need to be using a PC?

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Yes, you can't do this at all on a phone or tablet, it has to be a computer.

are emails from particular people in a separate folder affected by bulk deletion?

[@techtimewithtimmy]

It will depend on how you have the filter set. When you set it to show emails from a specific person, the bottom option of those filter options will be "search" and there will be a drop down menu with options like "All Mail", "Inbox", and several others. If you set it to all mail, it will bring up all emails from that person, regardless of what folder they are in. But if you set it to inbox, or another specific folder, it will only bring up emails that are in that specific folder, so then only those emails will be deleted.

[@Danielafernandes-hj1ep]

Why am I not getting an option for all emails selection?

[@techtimewithtimmy]

I've just tested some things, and I've discovered it doesn't seem to work unless you are using the default inbox. Click on the settings icon in the top right hand corner, and in the panel that appears, scroll down to "inbox type", and make sure it is set to default. Hopefully, it is set to something else, and you can change it to default, then you will be able to bulk delete.

i am having difficuty ..i typed an email wrong (mail returned) and i do not know how to get rid of it. it is frustrating because i select this misstyped email again and again...please, how doi get rid of this...thank you

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Sorry, I'm not sure what to tell you, there isn't anything special about bounce back emails, you should just be able to delete it using any of the normal ways that you would delete an email.

[@reinecourtemanche7445]

@@techtimewithtimmy it's the email address that I don't know how to delete ... there are now 2 . one is correct and the other is incorrect and that is the one I'm trying to delete but for some reason I cannot..how does one delete email addresses..thank you

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Oh, I see, an email address. For that, you'll need to go into Google contacts. Go to contacts.google.com, type the incorrect email address in the search, and click on it when it comes up. Then, click on the three dots in the top right hand corner, and click Delete. Back in Gmail, you might need to refresh the page, or even wait a little while for it to take effect, but it should then be removed.

[@reinecourtemanche7445]

@@techtimewithtimmy thank you for taking the time to understand and to try to help resolve thiis..it did not work... contact was not there but it is on my phone..I just checked ...maybe some saved on sim card and some on phone 🤔

[@TomLarson-w4x]

How do you delete all emails from year 2023 to 2021? Want to keep all emails received in 2024.

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Paste this into the search: after:2021/1/1 before:2024/1/1 That should bring up all emails between those dates, then you can delete them as shown in the video.

[@haroonqureashi2618]

Hi \, Im not getting the option to "Select all conversations that match thi search"

[@techtimewithtimmy]

That's strange, I'm not sure why that would be

[@valeriamurrell7507]

Wowww!!!

[@sharonewing2284]

This is on a computer how about a phone

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Thank you for the suggestion, a video is in the works!

[@reneefranck6094]

how do I delete all mail from 2022 and older?

[@techtimewithtimmy]

The same way you delete mail from 2023 and later, the date of the email shouldn't have anything to do with it.

[@josephritter29]

I've got 255,079 emails. It asks if I want to delete them all , I say yes, and it doesn't work!

[@techtimewithtimmy]

You probably just need to wait quite a while for it to process with that many emails. If you check back tomorrow, they should all be deleted.

[@9catlover]

i don't think gmail lets u bulk delete now. so shitty

[@techtimewithtimmy]

No, you definitely still can, this video is quite recent. Is it not working for you?

[@9catlover]

@@techtimewithtimmy maybe u gave too many emails. Over 90k it won't delete all is:unread

[@techtimewithtimmy]

With that many emails it will probably take quite a long time for them all to delete, but if you selected them all, they should all be deleted eventually.

[@9catlover]

@@techtimewithtimmy Am afraid it didn't delete them at all.

[@_Crunch]

Nope doesn't work

[@techtimewithtimmy]

I'm sorry to hear that, if you could be more specific as to where it's going wrong, I might be able to help.
