Gmail 은 넉넉한 저장용량을 제공하는 이메일 서비스 제공업체 중 하나입니다. 이것은 확실히 장점이지만 많은 사용자가 직면하는 가장 큰 단점 중 하나이기도 합니다. 사용자가 기가바이트의 무료 데이터를 저장할 수 있기 때문에 이메일 정리(cleaning emails) 의 우선순위가 낮아져 사용자가 마침내 무료 스토리지를 거의 모두 사용했을 때 수천 개의 이메일을 처리해야 합니다.
수천 개의 읽지 않은 불필요한 이메일을 보는 것이 겁이 날 수 있지만 새로 시작하기 위해 모든 것을 지우는 것은 놀랍도록 쉽고 빠릅니다. 이 가이드에서는 Gmail 에서 모든 이메일을 삭제하는 방법과 오래된 이메일을 자동으로 삭제하도록 이메일을 설정하는 방법과 받은편지함을 정기적으로 정리하는 것의 중요성을 보여줍니다.

받은 편지함을 정기적으로 청소해야 하는 이유는 무엇입니까?(Why Should You Regularly Clean Your Inbox?)
받은 편지함에 여전히 충분한 공간이 있다면 정리해야 하는 이유가 궁금할 것입니다. 이메일을 정리하면 많은 이점이 있습니다. 주요 이유는 다음과 같습니다.
대부분의 이메일은 가치를 상실합니다.(Most Emails Lose Their Value)
이메일의 주요 목적은 정보를 보내고 받는 것입니다. 따라서 5년 전에 이메일을 받았다 면 해당 이메일의 데이터는 더 이상 가치가 없을 것입니다.(received an email)
예를 들어, 3년 전에 전 직장에서 보낸 이메일 스레드가 있었다면 해당 스레드의 정보가 가치 있다고 생각합니까? 아마 아닐 것입니다. 그렇기 때문에 가치 있는 이메일만 보관하고 중복된 이메일은 제거하는 것이 가장 좋습니다.
사람과 컴퓨터 검색 속도(Human and Computer Search Speed)
다른 프로젝트의 폴더별로 이메일을 정리하더라도 500개의 이메일 대신 50개의 이메일을 시각적으로 스캔하는 것이 훨씬 쉽습니다. 결과를 줄이기 위해 항상 Gmail의 필터링 옵션(Gmail’s filtering option) 을 사용하더라도 더 깔끔하고 짧은 목록의 편리함을 능가하지는 못합니다.
수백 또는 수천 개의 이메일을 필터링하는 것이 어려울 뿐만 아니라 Gmail 이 많은 레코드를 보유하는 경우 데이터 세트를 필터링하는 데 시간이 더 오래 걸립니다. 간단히 말해서(Simply) , 이메일이 적을수록 귀하와 Gmail 이 더 나은 검색을 수행할 수 있습니다.
로컬 시스템 성능(Local System Performance)
검색 속도 외에도 이메일이 많으면 특히 로컬 이메일 프로그램을 사용하여(using a local email program) 운영 체제에 영향을 줄 수 있습니다 . 예를 들어, 이메일 이메일이 많을수록 이메일 프로그램이 시작되고 서버와 동기화되는 데 더 오래 걸립니다.
결과적으로 백업 시간이 더 오래 걸립니다. 따라서 하드 디스크 공간이 상당히 저렴하더라도 사서함을 최소한으로 유지하는 것이 항상 더 나은 솔루션입니다.
Gmail에서 모든 이메일을 삭제하는 방법(How to Delete All Emails on Gmail)
Gmail 받은 편지함 에 있는 모든 이메일을 삭제하려면 컴퓨터, Gmail 계정 및 약간의 시간만 있으면 됩니다. 그런 다음 아래 단계에 따라 받은편지함을 완전히 삭제하세요.
- 브라우저에서 Gmail 계정을 엽니 다.
- Gmail 받은(Gmail) 편지함에서 삭제할 카테고리를 선택합니다. Gmail 받은편지함은 (Gmail)기본(Primary) , 소셜(Social) , 업데이트(Updates) 및 프로모션(Promotions) 의 세 가지 또는 네 가지 범주로 분류됩니다 . Gmail 에서 이메일을 삭제하는 가장 빠른 방법 은 카테고리별로 삭제하는 것입니다.

Can You Delete All Emails from Gmail at Once?
Gmail is one of the email service providers that has a generous amount of storagе. While this is certainly an advantage, it’s also one of the biggeѕt drawbacks many users face. As users can store gigabytes of free data, cleaning emails becomes a lesser priority, which leaves users thousands of emails to go through when they finally use up almost all of the free storage.
While seeing thousands of unread and unnecessary emails can be intimidating, clearing everything up to start fresh is surprisingly easy and quick. In this guide, we will show you how to delete all emails on Gmail, as well as how you can set up your email to automatically delete old emails and the importance of regularly cleaning up your inbox.

Why Should You Regularly Clean Your Inbox?
If you still have enough space in your inbox, you might be wondering why you should clean it up? Cleaning up your email has numerous benefits. Here are the top reasons:
Most Emails Lose Their Value
The primary purpose of an email is to send and receive information. So, if you have received an email from five years ago, it is likely that the data from that email won’t hold any value anymore.
For example, if you had an email thread from your ex-employer three years ago, do you think that any information from that thread is valuable? Probably not. That’s why it is best only to keep emails with value and try to remove redundant ones.
Human and Computer Search Speed
Even if you organize your emails by folders on different projects, it is still easier to visually scan through 50 emails instead of 500 emails. And even if you always use Gmail’s filtering option to reduce the results, it still won’t beat the convenience of a cleaner, shorter list.
Not only will you find it hard to filter through hundreds or thousands of emails, but Gmail will also take longer to filter through a dataset if it holds a lot of records. Simply put, having fewer emails will allow you to and Gmail to perform a better search.
Local System Performance
Apart from the search speed, having many emails can also affect your operating system, especially using a local email program. For example, the more email emails you have, the longer it will take for your email program to start up and sync with the server.
As a result, your backups will take longer. So even if hard disk space is fairly affordable, keeping your mailbox at a minimum will always be a better solution.
How to Delete All Emails on Gmail
If you want to delete every email you have in your Gmail inbox, all you need is a computer, your Gmail account, and a bit of time. Then, follow the steps below to wipe out your inbox completely:
- Open your Gmail account on your browser.
- On your Gmail inbox, choose which category you want to delete. Gmail inboxes are segmented into three or four categories: Primary, Social, Updates, and Promotions. The quickest way to delete emails in Gmail is to remove them by category.

- Select the tab you want to clear by clicking on it. (In this guide, we will delete the Promotions tab.)
- On the top-left side of your screen, check the small tick box under the Search mail search bar. This will select every email on the page, which is up to 50 emails, and all selected emails will turn into a darker shade. If you have more than 50 promotional emails, doing this won’t get everything, but the next step will.

- After confirming the action, it will take some time, especially if you have thousands of emails. Once the process is complete, you will see a little confirmation pop-up on the bottom-left side of your screen. Simply refresh the page, and you will see that all your emails have been deleted.
Note: While you’ve deleted all your emails in the Promotion category, it doesn’t mean that they were removed from your Gmail account. With Gmail, once you delete an email, it’s stored in your trash folder for about 30 days. Only after this period will google permanently delete them. If you want to expedite this process and delete all your emails for good, follow the next steps below.
- Go to your Trash Folder found on the left menu navigation of your screen.
