STEP BY STEP GUIDE
How to bulk delete emails in Gmail before a specific date

STEP 1
If I click into the Gmail search bar, I’ll use the search keyword ‘before’ to ask Gmall to look at emails before a particular date.
I need to ensure I follow that keyword with a colon to make sure it works

STEP 2
And then I’ll add the date I want to search earlier than - in this case I’ll look for emails before the 1st June 2021.
It’s important to remember that when entering a date in Gmail it is more common to use a US format date - with this format you enter the month first followed by the day of the month and lastly you add the year. Remember that you need to add the full four digits for the year for it to work correctly.

STEP 3
If I press the return key with that search entered, you’ll see that all the emails entered before the 1st June are shown

STEP 4
To delete all those emails before that date, I’ll begin by choosing the checkbox at the top left of the inbox.
This select all the emails on this first page of the Gmail inbox
However it does not select all the emails that were returned in your search.

STEP 5
To select all the emails, you need to move your mouse to the ‘Select all conversations’ link at the top of the inbox
If I click that now, Gmail confirms that all conversations in the search have now been selected.

STEP 6
Let’s now move to the delete icon at the top of the inbox, and I’ll click that once.
A prompt then appears that confirms that your delete request will carry out a bulk action on a large number of emails.
To proceed with this, click the large blue OK button.

STEP 7
Gmail will then work through the emails and delete them.
Depending on how many emails you have in your inbox, this may take a little while.
Once that is complete, Gmail confirms that All conversations have been moved to the Bin or Trash folder.
