I'm trying to clear out a huge email backlog in Gmail, with over 80,000 messages to delete. It's super slow selecting just 100 at a time! Is there a way to select more than that all at once to speed up the process? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

When you select all the emails on the page, you should see an option at the top that says something like "All 50 conversations on this page are selected. Select all X conversations in this folder." Click that to select all emails in the folder at once, then just hit delete! It makes bulk deleting so much easier!
Right after you select all on the page, a prompt should pop up asking if you want to select all conversations in the folder. Just click that to grab everything at once! It’s a huge time-saver compared to clicking through 100 at a time.
Thanks for the tip! I wasn't seeing that option before, but I’ll definitely keep an eye out for it now!
