Key Takeaways
- You may use options in Gmail’s built-in filters to ensure certain new emails are auto-deleted.
- Employing some third-party tools will give you more options, allowing you to auto-delete even old emails.
Method 1: Using Filters
Gmail offers filters to manage incoming emails automatically. Using filters, you can create a bunch of rules for email organization. Here, we will create a filter to auto-delete emails from Gmail. Follow the steps below.
Step 1: Open Gmail and log in using your Google account credentials.
Step 2: Click Settings at the top right > See all settings.
Step 3: From the Gmail Settings screen, go to the Filters and Blocked Addresses tab.
Step 4: Here, you will see the list of filters you created. Scroll to the bottom and select Create a new filter.
Step 5: Enter the email address you want to auto-delete going forward in the From section, ignore the other options, and select Create filter at the bottom.
Step 6: You can select many options from the following menu. Since we are talking about the auto-delete function, select Delete it.
Step 7: Click Create filter at the bottom.
You can create as many filters as you like. Gmail will automatically delete those incoming emails from the added email addresses.
Gmail also allows you to create a filter from the email details menu. Open any email you want to auto-delete > click the three-dot menu > select Filter messages like this. The filter menu will open, and you can create a filter for the email address.
Method 2: Use Gmail Add-Ons
If you must set up a filter in Gmail that will auto-delete all old newsletters and promotional emails from your mailbox. Or a separate filter that will apply a different label to emails after a specific number of days and mark them as read; you may use the Email Studio add-on.
Email Studio is a Gmail add-on that keeps your inbox clean and clutter-free with the auto-purge function. Follow the steps below to set up the service from scratch.
Step 1: Visit the Email Studio add-on page and click Install.
Step 2: Once installed, open Gmail. The add-on will be right beside the Gmail home screen.
Step 3: Click Email Studio > Email Clean Up.
Step 4: Email Studio will request several permissions to function correctly with your Gmail Inbox. Allow them; the add-on will open a separate window to create filters.
Step 5: Email Studio offers several options. Here, we will discuss the Email Clean-up function. Click on Clean Up at the top > New Rule.
Step 6: The Interface is similar to Gmail Filters, but the functions are more advanced. Fill out the options as you please and click Save.
