Gmail, one of the most popular email services, offers a wide range of features to help users manage their emails efficiently. However, sometimes you may need to empty an entire folder in Gmail to declutter your inbox or remove outdated emails. In this article, we will guide you through the process of how to empty an entire folder in Gmail.
Step 1: Log in to your Gmail account
The first step is to log in to your Gmail account. Open your web browser and go to www.gmail.com. Enter your email address and password to access your account.
Step 2: Navigate to the folder you want to empty
Once you are logged in, you will see a list of folders on the left-hand side of the screen. Click on the folder you want to empty. This will display all the emails within that folder.
Step 3: Select all emails in the folder
To select all emails in the folder, click on the checkbox at the top of the email list. This will select all the emails in the folder. If you want to select only the unread emails, you can use the “Select: Unread” option from the dropdown menu next to the search bar.
Step 4: Delete the selected emails

Click on the “More” button next to the trash folder and select “Empty Trash.” This will delete all the emails in the trash folder, including the ones you just deleted.
