How to Bulk Delete Emails on iPhone or iPad

By: Sam Patwegar | Updated: August 31, 2025

If you are looking for a way to Bulk Delete Emails from the Mail App on iPhone, it is likely that your Email Account has become full or over crowded with hundreds (if not thousands) of Email Messages.

Another common reason for Bulk Deleting Emails is due to corporate or company requirements, which usually advice employees to archive important Emails and delete all unwanted Emails on a yearly basis.

Before Bulk Deleting Emails from iPhone, it is always a good idea to create a New Folder in your Email Account and move emails that appear important or worth a second look to this New Folder.

Once all the important emails are moved to this New Folder, you will have the confidence to Bulk Delete all the remaining Emails from iPhone and start fresh with a clutter free Inbox (hopefully it stays so!).
