1 answer

To delete an email message from Gmail, follow these steps:

Using a Computer:

  1. Log in to Gmail: Open your web browser, go to Gmail, and log in with your Google account credentials.

  2. Locate the Email: Use the search bar at the top if you're looking for a specific email, or browse through your inbox or another folder.

  3. Select the Email: Click on the checkbox to the left of the email you want to delete. Alternatively, you can open the email by clicking on it.

  4. Delete the Email:

    • If you have selected the email without opening it, click on the trash bin icon at the top of the page.
    • If you've opened the email, look for the trash can icon in the upper-right corner of the message and click it.

  5. Confirm Deletion: The email will be moved to the "Trash" folder.

Using a Mobile Device (Gmail App):

  1. Open the Gmail App: Launch the Gmail app on your smartphone or tablet.

  2. Find the Email: Browse your Inbox or use the search feature to find the email you want to delete.

  3. Select the Email: Tap and hold the email until a checkmark appears, indicating it's selected.

  4. Delete the Email:

    • Tap the trash can icon that appears at the top of the screen.
    • If you are viewing the email, tap the three vertical dots (more options) in the upper-right corner and select "Delete."

  5. Confirm Deletion: The email will move to the "Trash" folder.

Important Note:

  • Emails in the "Trash" folder will be automatically deleted after 30 days. If you need to recover an email that you deleted accidentally, you may do so within this timeframe. Just go to the "Trash" folder, select the email, and choose "Move to" to go back to your inbox or another folder.

By following these steps, you can easily delete unwanted emails in Gmail on both desktop and mobile platforms.
