How to Clean out Your Gmail Inbox

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Open the Gmail website.

   If you aren't already logged in, enter your email address and password to do so. ,, Most email lists' emails give you an option at the bottom of the email to unsubscribe from the sender. ,, For most email lists, clicking the "Unsubscribe" link is enough to unsubscribe you immediately.
   
   However, some lists may require you to take an exit survey or something similar.
   
   Regardless of semantics, clicking the Unsubscribe link will take you to the sender's webpage (for example, the Best Buy site) to confirm your choice. , If your email list doesn't provide you with an option to unsubscribe, you can flag it as spam to avoid seeing it in your inbox.
   
   To do this, click the exclamation mark icon in the top-of-the-screen toolbar while the email is selected or open.
   
   You'll still need to delete these emails from your "Spam" folder in the left-side options tree to remove them from your account entirely.
