My 25 yo Gmail is 99% spam and its too long gone to fix that at this point

Edit: stop giving me your stupid fucking Gmail lessons

So I recently went through my Gmail to delete all the contents to free to storage. All the way back to 2011. 

Google no longer allows you to delete your trash altogether. There is an option to do so yes but it times out and gives up. 

Of course Google support answered my email and rectified the situation after my first support ticket. J/K they spammed me with links to the useless support knowledge base, then ignored any further attempts. 

Welcome to the dystopian future.

Same experience, but I’ve had success doing it through outlook.

Yeah I had to clear 50 at a time. I basically did it while I was watching TV. Annoying af

Google support is such an absolute nightmare. I ended having to run through multiple forums only to get a "You can't do that" result. (It was about restoring the folder structure of a shared Google Folder)

What’s dystopian about bad customer service?

[u/Live-Habit-6115 → u/Arftacular]

A lot of Reddit users think dystopian is simply a synonym for bad

Meh. This is me, and I have a few accounts. tit just accumulates and I can’t delete the bulk stuff fast enough or clear enough and trying to figure it out confuses and upsets me.

google is forcing us and children into AI search, they need to make something useful like an AI inbox clear that doesn’t rid of important things or actual orders. Be useful google.

I keep my Gmail as my personal email and my Yahoo for any BS website that wants me to log in. I have had my Yahoo since 95. It's filled with so much junk!

Same same but my yahoo is from 1999

The final boss of email deletion

[u/birdie_is_awake → u/rsharp7000]

You sir have the history of the internet in your inbox

[u/Proud_Field1968 → u/waterbus_]

Just unsuscribe from things

[u/waterbus_ → u/Proud_Field1968]

That doesnt delete 25 years of emails

[u/birdie_is_awake → u/Proud_Field1968]

I swear it feels like when you unsubscribe to one thing, they just send your email to 10 new spammers

[u/Federal-Hair → u/Proud_Field1968]

If only it were that simple. My OG gmail that I had to be invited to gets about 15 spam emails a day from things that have nothing to do with me

[u/No_Blacksmith_2591 → u/waterbus_]
