Since the entire “not required emails” are still in the inbox and those emails are actually of no use such as online shopping sale emails or news daily emails. Therefore, we found a way to fix this issue by the use of auto-delete email in Gmail. Through this blog, I am going to tell you the easy steps to auto-delete emails in Gmail and reclaim lost space in Gmail.

  • Additionally, we can also select other parameters like attachments. Because attachments take up a lot of space in the inbox. So, show your creativity and analyze your emails before creating a filter list.
  • After creating the filter list, go back to settings and click on edit available on the side of the newly created filter. Do not change any parameters and click on continue and select “Also apply the filter to matching conversations” available under Delete option. “Also apply the filter to matching conversations” means new incoming emails will be deleted along with old emails. When you are done, save the settings.

2. Gmail Auto-delete by using Search Operators

Gmail also works smartly as Google searches which means we can use parentheses and Booleans for the creation of auto-delete emails and filters in Gmail. Additionally, we can take the use of parentheses like () brackets. Other common terms used to create filters includes has or any attachment.

Creation of filters from Search

Open your Gmail account and use the search bar to find the not so required emails and delete them. You can show creativity here by using the labels and Booleans to find the emails that you wish to auto-delete in Gmail.

I have observed that most of the people have the habit of skipping emails and after some days they accumulate in a big number. So, with this issue, we can use the Boolean as “is: unread” to find them and delete them in the bunch. Additionally, you can also click on the advanced button available on the right side of the search bar wherein you can create the filter and auto-delete Gmail emails easily.
