How to Delete All Emails from One Sender in Gmail

Is your inbox overflowing with emails from a single sender? Whether it is a newsletter you forgot to unsubscribe from, promotional emails from a store, or notifications from a social media platform, bulk deleting emails from one sender can free up significant space and help you regain control of your inbox.

In this guide, we will walk you through the manual method using Gmail, and then show you a faster way using Sweeper Email.

The Manual Way: Using Gmail Search

Step 1: Search for the sender

In the Gmail search bar, type:

from:sender@example.com

Replace sender@example.com with the actual email address.

Step 2: Select all matching emails

Click the checkbox in the top-left corner to select all emails on the current page. Gmail will show a message saying "All 50 conversations on this page are selected." Click the link that says "Select all conversations that match this search" to select every email from that sender.

Step 3: Delete them

Click the trash icon to move all selected emails to Trash. Gmail will permanently delete them after 30 days.

Limitations of the manual method

• You can only do one sender at a time
• No way to preview what you are deleting
• Easy to accidentally delete important emails
• Tedious if you have dozens of senders to clean up

The Easier Way: Use Sweeper Email

Sweeper Email shows you every sender in your inbox, sorted by how many emails they have sent you. With one click, you can:

• Bulk delete all emails from any sender
• Unsubscribe from their newsletters
• Protect important senders so their emails are never touched

Instead of repeating the manual Gmail process for each sender, Sweeper Email lets you clean your entire inbox in minutes.
