How to Bulk Delete Emails on iPhone or iPad

By: Sam Patwegar | March 8, 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 over crowded with hundreds (if not thousands) of read, seen and unread Email Messages.

Another common reason for Bulk Deleting Emails is due to Corporate or Company requirements, which usually require its employees to archive emails and Bulk Delete them on a yearly basis.

If you do not find the need to archive all your Email Messages, you can consider the option of moving only the important email messages in your Email Account to a New Folder within your Email Account.

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