Gmail One-Click Cleaner: Bulk delete Gmail clutter with safer preset searches (Chrome extension)
Gmail inbox cleanup is one of those tasks that should take minutes, but usually turns into a slow loop of searching, selecting, deleting, and second-guessing. I built Bulk Delete Gmail Emails, also called Gmail One-Click Cleaner, as a Chrome extension to make Gmail bulk delete faster while still feeling controlled. The goal is to help you clean Gmail clutter without writing complex search queries or relying on fragile filters.
The extension uses safer preset searches aimed at common low-value email categories, like promotions, newsletters, social updates, no-reply messages, and large emails that can quietly eat storage. It also uses a dedicated cleaning tab so bulk actions feel more intentional, not like you are randomly deleting things inside your main inbox view. If you are trying to reach Inbox Zero, free up Gmail storage, or reduce distractions, this is built for that exact workflow.
I’m looking for practical feedback from heavy Gmail users: which preset searches would save you the most time, and what safety checks or confirmations would increase trust for bulk delete actions.

This solves a real pain point. Gmail's native bulk select is clunky and the search syntax isn't intuitive for most users.
For preset searches that would save the most time:
High-value presets:
Safety checks that would build trust:
One friction point I'd consider: some users might want a "dry run" mode that shows what WOULD be deleted without actually deleting. Reduces the anxiety of bulk operations.
How are you handling Gmail's API rate limits? That's often where bulk delete extensions hit problems at scale.
