That sounds time-consuming.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, we have some helpful tips for sorting the junk emails from the pile. It\u2019s easy to pick out large numbers of emails that just aren\u2019t useful.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Search_for_Common_Phrases_in_Junk_Emails\"><\/span>Search for Common Phrases in Junk Emails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Consider searching for common phrases in junk emails. For example, try searching for the following phrases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unsubscribe<\/li>\n<li>Verify<\/li>\n<li>Welcome<\/li>\n<li>Activate<\/li>\n<li>\u201cPassword recovery\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cNew sign in\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cAccount registration\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Alert<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you start searching for these, you\u2019ll find a lot of useless emails that you probably don\u2019t need. If they all look useless, you can quickly perform a \u201cselect all\u201d action and delete them.<\/p>\n<p>(Of course, you should be careful. There might be an email that\u2019s important to you that has the word \u201cUnsubscribe\u201d in it. Only you really know which emails are important to you.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignnone wp-image-713188 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/unsubscribe.png\" alt=\"Searching for &quot;Unsubscribe&quot; in Gmail.\" width=\"650\" height=\"300\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Search_for_Accumulating_Newsletters\"><\/span>Search for Accumulating Newsletters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re like most people, you probably get regular email newsletters from multiple organizations.<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, you probably don\u2019t need to keep every single email newsletter or promotion that you get. To erase many newsletters at once, locate one of the newsletters and look for the address it was sent from. For example, it might be from newsletter@example.com.<\/p>\n<p>Perform a search for messages from the sender \u201cnewsletter@example.com\u201d in your email client, and you\u2019ll find all the newsletters they\u2019ve ever sent you. With a quick \u201cSelect All\u201d and \u201cDelete,\u201d you can delete a large number of emails.<\/p>\n<p>For example, our newsletter address is newsletter@howtogeek.com. If you find it useful, that\u2019s great, and we\u2019re grateful for your subscription. But you probably don\u2019t need to keep an archive of every newsletter we\u2019ve ever sent, so feel free to delete them to free up space.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignnone wp-image-713187 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/search-for-htg-newsletter.png\" alt=\"Searching for How-To Geek newsletters in Gmail.\" width=\"650\" height=\"170\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been in the habit of archiving all the emails you receive rather than deleting them, you may easily find thousands and thousands of useless newsletters that you can quickly delete.<\/p>\n<p>Consider deleting rather than archiving useless emails in the future. It\u2019ll save you time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Why You Should Delete Emails Instead of Archiving Them<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Other_Useless_Emails_Do_You_Have\"><\/span>What Other Useless Emails Do You Have?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Everyone\u2019s email is different, of course. Think of the useless emails you likely have lurking in your inbox, and consider whether you want to keep them.<\/p>\n<p>For example, let\u2019s say that you took part in a mailing list many years ago, and you have many emails from that mailing list buried in your archive. If you realize you\u2019ll never need them again, you can search for the address of that mailing list, then delete them all with a quick \u201cSelect All\u201d and \u201cDelete.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can also pay attention to the emails coming in in the future. Let\u2019s say that you receive a type of email that you\u2019ve received many times before, and you realize that you really don\u2019t need to keep it. Rather than just deleting that specific email, search for the subject or sender\u2014whatever makes the email unique\u2014and delete all emails of that type. It\u2019s a quick way to clear wide swathes of emails without having to dig through them one by one.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Delete_the_Emails_Using_the_Most_Space\"><\/span>How to Delete the Emails Using the Most Space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you delete a large number of useless emails, you\u2019ll recover more space than you might expect. However, much of the space used in your email account might come from large emails with attached images and files.<\/p>\n<p>To find these, you can search for emails with attachments, or sort your email archive by message size.<\/p>\n<p>Which features you have available will depend on the software you\u2019re using. For example, Gmail lets you search for emails by attachment. Just search for \u201chas:attachment\u201d. However, Gmail does not show the file size of each email message or thread in its web interface.<\/p>\n<p>If you use Gmail, consider accessing your email account through IMAP with Mozilla Thunderbird. You can then sort your email account by message size and quickly find the email threads using the most amount of space. Focus on deleting those if you really want to free up space quickly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
