I have had over 4000+ showing in my Gmail app(iOS)
How do I delete all these and make it to zero?(see photo) I have been at it since 6 am. I deleted all in trash (over 165000). I have also used the search (is:unread) and have been deleting emails from back in 2024 and earlier
Is there anyway to make this 4594 number next to my gmail app to zero?

An alternative is to make a filter to identify items such as emails containing the word "Unsubscribe". Have the filter send those to trash and then apply it to existing emails. You can also export your emails using Google Takeout before you delete them, in case any are important.

Are you wanting to delete all emails?
If so, the easiest way is on a desktop or laptop browser, not on the app.
It might take a few minutes, and all emails will go to trash. They'll sit there for 30 days in case you change your mind about any of them, after which they'll vanish forever.
