How to delete all messages from your gmail account
Table of contents:
Something that happens to most users on a regular basis is that our inbox begins to fill with messages. Especially if we have been using this email account for a while. Messages are accumulating, which means that they take up more and more space. And unfortunately space is somewhat limited in our Gmail accounts. At least in the case that we don't want to pay.
How to delete all messages from your Gmail account
This is not a negative thing, since there are users who want or need to save many of their messages for various reasons. The problem is that if the space runs out, Google will ask us for a fee to continue storing messages in Gmail. And that, in addition to being something that is not really necessary, can be annoying for many users who do not want to pay for this service. Luckily, we can prevent this from happening in a simple way.
We have the option to delete all our Gmail messages. Thus, we delete everything and leave our account as if it were new. And we forget about space problems or having to pay Google a fee. Something of the most convenient. Best of all, deleting all messages from our email account is really easy.

Making a backup of all or some emails is the most recommended option. Thus, you know that you always have those messages available in case you need them. And we avoid regrets or future problems.

Delete all messages in Gmail
The process of deleting our Gmail messages is as simple as it is fast. In the inbox, at the top, just above the most recent message, there is an empty box. If we click on this box we get a selection of options. The option that interests us in this case is that of Everything. Therefore, we have to select All. This assumes that all messages visible on the screen are to be selected. And then, just click on the trash can button to delete these messages. Thus, we delete the most recent messages that are in our tray.
To do that with all the messages in our inbox, just repeat the same action. And do that until all messages have been removed. If you also want to delete the messages that are in the other tabs (Social and advertising), the procedure is exactly the same. And after a few minutes all the messages in your Gmail account will have been deleted. Don't forget to do the same with the Spam tray, although those messages are automatically deleted after 30 days. The main problem is that if you have many messages this process can be somewhat slow.
If you are one of those who delete messages due to lack of space, at the bottom of the inbox you can find the percentage of space used. In this way you can keep track of the space you use and that it is free at all times. And avoid scares in case there is little space. Without a doubt it is a very useful option to free up space, although it is most likely that it is not necessary to delete all the messages that are in your Gmail account.
