I just shipped a Chrome extension called Gmail One-Click Cleaner (listed as “Bulk Delete Gmail Emails”) because Gmail cleanup is way more annoying than it should be. My inbox would slowly fill with promotions, newsletters, social updates, and no-reply automation, and the cleanup loop was always the same: write a search, select a bunch, delete, worry you missed something important, repeat.
The approach I took is “safer presets + a controlled workflow.” Instead of making you remember Gmail search operators, the extension provides preset searches aimed at common low-value clutter, and it runs the bulk workflow in a dedicated cleaning tab so it feels more intentional than deleting inside the main inbox view. It’s meant for Gmail inbox cleanup, reaching Inbox Zero faster, and Gmail storage recovery if large emails are eating space.
If you’re a heavy Gmail user, I’d love real feedback: what preset searches would you actually use weekly, and what safety checks would make you trust bulk delete more? Chrome Web Store link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bulk-delete-gmail-emails/bmcfpljakkpcbinhgiahncpcbhmihgpc
