How to delete all emails from a particular sender?
Deleting all the emails from a particular doesn’t have a dedicated option on any of the Gmail clients. You have to take the advantage of some of the features on the mail client to remove all the emails from a sender.
There are two ways of doing this. The first one in the manual approach where you segregate the emails using the sender address as a common attribute and then delete them. This is just an advanced searching and deleting function. On the other hand, you can create a custom filter that automatically removes the email messages from that sender.
Method 1 – Search the emails and delete them
Simply, search for the emails that the sender have sent you and delete them.
Step 1 – Open up your Gmail inbox.
Step 2 – Now, open up any of the email messages from the sender that you want to delete.
Step 3 – Then, go ahead and copy the address of the sender from there.
Step 4 – Later, go to the search box and use the “From:” identifier.
from: sender address
Replace the “sender address” with the sender address that you have copied before.
Step 5 – This way, you can filter out all the messages that you have received from that particular sender.
Step 6 – Make sure “Most recent” parameter is selected there.
Step 7 – Tap the “Select all conversations that match this search” option.
Step 8 – Now, you will see all the email messages from the sender have been selected. This includes all the emails, even if they are not showing up on the screen.
Step 9 – Tap the bin icon to send those emails to trash box.
Now, Gmail will remove all the emails that you have got from this particular sender. Keep in mind that the Gmail load up only 100 of those messages. It may sometimes take to delete all the previous emails from your inbox.
Method 2 – Create an auto-delete filter
You can create an auto-delete filter to delete the emails from the inbox whenever the sender sends you one. This way, you don’t have to remove the emails manually.
Step 1 – Open up the Gmail and tap the email that you want to delete.
Step 2 – Next, you have to copy the sender email ID from the top of the email.
Step 3 – After copying the email, tap the “Show search options” icon in the Gmail search bar.
Step 4 – Then, paste the copied email address in the “From:” parameter.
Step 5 – Next, tap the “Create filter” to create a filter.
Step 6 – Then, check the “Delete it” mark in the box.
Step 7 – Tap the “Create filter” to create a new filter.
After creating the filter, Gmail will automatically delete the mails from the said sender whenever it gets such mail. This way, you don’t have to delete those stacked up emails regularly.
