The matching emails will appear. 4️⃣ To delete the emails, click the checkbox in the top left corner to select all on the current page. If you have multiple pages of results, select the option to select all emails in the results. 5️⃣ Finally, click the Trash can icon to move the selected emails to the trash. Remember that emails in the trash folder are automatically deleted after 30 days. If you wish to remove them immediately, you can empty the trash in Gmail. 🧹 How to Automatically Delete Old Emails in Gmail using Filters: 1️⃣ Click on the "Show search options" button, represented by an icon of dials, located at the far right of the search bar. 2️⃣ In the "Has the words" field, input the search terms from the previous section (e.g., older_than:5y for emails older than five years). 3️⃣ Click "Create filter." 4️⃣ You may see a notice that the filter isn't recommended for incoming mail. Press "OK" as we're targeting old messages, not incoming ones. 5️⃣ In the second menu of options, check the box next to "Delete it" to instruct Gmail to delete the emails that match your filter. 6️⃣ If the filter applies to messages in your inbox and you want to delete those as well, select the checkbox next to "Also apply filter to X matching conversations." 7️⃣ Press "Create filter" to finalize the setup.
