600 lol...before I started this video, I had over 26,000 unread messages in my inbox (a ton of promotion emails, plus the fact that I marked important emails as unread for many years). Now I'm down to around 20,000, which is less than it's been in years...already feeling accomplished
Hi Josh, I hope you are doing great; you uploaded this video 5 years ago, even in 2022 your tricks are working properly. Have a great day and wonderful life.
Josh your information was on target, I needed a new, quick a fresh way to help me help manage the gmail overload. Thank you for your knowledge with me brother!
Years later and this was still relevant in 2020!! Thanks Josh. I just cleared out over 30k unread emails (don’t judge me, it just became a moot point to do anything after a while lol) in less than 30 min!! I loved the tips you used for the searches. This will help me keep everything more organized going forward.
So far I have found not one instruction on how to delete all gmails at once. I don't want to archive anything or perform any other actions than to delete all my emails and you did not show how to do that!
Not sure if you mentioned this or not but based on that "older than" logic, I tested out typing older_than:3y for 3 year old emails and it worked. Works for any amount of years. 1y,2y,3y and so forth. This might help those of us that have thousands of unread garbage. Thanks for the vid. Very helpful.
omg thank you josh! i literally had 32k+ freaking emails it was completely out of control! you helped me clean out my email completely! wow its wonderful now
Since I'm an old geezer and can't figure this tech shit out, THANK YOU !!!! So !uch for this info. I had almost 10,000 in my inbox, also in my social. And I don't want to mention the promotion box 😭🤪🙄😰😱 just horrible..your video really helped!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the tips. Any shortcuts for deleting specific emails at one time without having to type the email contact name in search bar or a way to alphabetize all emails so as to easily delete a chunk of emails easily? AOL had this feature with my paid account. It was great for organizing all emails by email name and then deleting a large group at once. Thanks in advance for any tips.
Do you know who the sender was? You should be able to search and still find it if it's archived, then drag and drop it back to your inbox. Does that work?
I am used to using Outlook and now have problems with Microsoft getting it to work. I am currently forced to use my Gmail (back up) on their site for a period of time. How can I batch up my emails by sender and skim thru them to delete as needed? I may not want to delete ALL of them at once. Can this be done? Please advise.
Hi Jo Ann, you should be able to do a search by the sender name to see all emails from that sender. Then you can click by the ones you want to delete and bulk delete those. Does that help?
The only thing that sucks is you're really just moving everything into the Archive folder... so it's like having a pile of junk in the corner. It's not really cleaned out. I know Hotmail is supposed to be not cool anymore but you only have to select one message and you can delete (or sweep) everything from that sender. Seems a lot simpler. But, since I use gmail for business, this really helped. And made me laugh. Great video. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this information. I have been deleting 100 at a time and still I had 17,000 of emails which is time consuming to delete. Appreciated your insight to which help me to clean up all my emails in one shot.
Hey Josh great video. I hope you can help me and others I have picked up an advertisement in my Gmail and it embeds on my emails when I click send! I have been trying to find and area within Gmail that shows this sort of thing so that I can delete it or remove it. Any thought? Thanks in advance.
Josh you’re awesome thank you for this video I know it’s going to help me I haven’t deleted mine yet but now I know how that’s what matters thank you in my busy life this means so much to me appreciate you keep up the good videos I will search you to learn more on a business from home take care
I cleaned a few hundred emails earlier and still have 23, 985!!! I am so over whelmed. Not included the 2+ hrs I spent unsubscribing this morning. Thank you
I have a question my gmail for some reason is not sending me emails from TH-cam,bank,,business emails and keep sending them to trash how could I fix this problem
I have 185,347 emails in my Gmail account. I will use this method, but what I want to know is how do I get a frequency by 'From' for the whole account, so I know which searches to prioritize.
This didn’t work for me at all, I have thousands of emails to delete. Asking for older than 1 day and it brings up like 5 emails.. what’s going on here?
Thanks for that info. My inbox had 7,000+ messages so 600 was nothing! I've archived everything older than 200 days but where do I go to see the archived? I can't see a folder!?
Why can't you delete the emails that were older than 3 days? Why do you have to archive them? You are not being clear about this so you are of no use to use to know how to delete them only archive them. Try again!
i swear im not lieing. ive had my gmail since I was 12 and I'm now 21. this is my first time going to delete all of my emails. i just did the math and I have 1,348,800 emails in my inbox.

Deleting emails from a specific sender?
Can we do this & recover the gmail when the mail inbox storage is full?
Not sure on this. Think you have to login to see this.
Thanks for the video!!!
Man I Got over 3,000 emails in my inbox.. So when I archive something by mistake, it drives me crazy cause I dont now how to get it back
Do you know who the sender was? You should be able to search and still find it if it's archived, then drag and drop it back to your inbox. Does that work?

I have a question my gmail for some reason is not sending me emails from TH-cam,bank,,business emails and keep sending them to trash how could I fix this problem
okay so apparently i had 7000 emails from facebook alone...
11,402 unread, so I’m like not quite ready to clean up just yet...
How would I do this on my phone? It doesn't have the box to highlight everything.
Not sure how to do it via phone. Maybe the gmail app? Probably much faster on a laptop.
Useful but best watched on 1.25 speed as repeats often
Thanks for commenting!

THANKS MAN
But it still takes up space in Gmail? I am out of storage space because it just got way out of hand.
Yes, you will probably have to mass delete promotional stuff. You can also sort by "has:attachment" to get rid of larger emails.
mine now is on 0 i had 4k mails
You think 682 is rediculous? Try 4,097
4097 is the winner!!
5,484.
lol, noob.... OH DAMN, i was about to roast you with "over 5000" turns out i have 33.748 atm (october 25. 2018) XD

Hope this helped!
I knew I had to get to this my Gmail Inbox alone is at 13 emails shy of 206K : ( And I have two other email addresses - lower #s !! thanks!
What if want to save certain email address
I'd save it to your contacts. Then it should autofill.
THANKS! I'm trying to delete everything older than 2 years. Is there a way to do that? It's not working when I try to type that in.
It's only bringing up ONE page of 50 emails that it lets me check for deletion.
Try this in the search bar. older_than:730d
THIS WORKED!!!! Saved me HOURS and hours of work!!! YES!!!! SOOOOOO PSYCHED!! Thank you!
You're welcome :)
You'll never guess how much I cleaned up I had 11000 advertisement from 2014 until 2022 no wonder It Was Almost Full lolol
Glad to hear it

When you search emails the have been archived, those emails are part of the search. When you find the email, you can add it back to the inbox.
Thanks
Welcome!
helpfull thanks
