How Do I Delete Thousands Of Gmail Labels?
If you’ve had a Gmail account for a while, the chances are high that you’ve accumulated a series of hundreds and even thousands of rogue labels. These labels usually were created by email clients on Android and iOS. When software developers were still learning how to work with Gmail’s unique email system, they couldn’t pull any data on pre-existing labels. So they created new ones. Here’s a sample of what mine look like:
I’ve literally got over 2,000 of these rogue labels in my Gmail inbox. They have ruined my Gmail experience by taking away my control over my email, and I no longer use it because of them.
Chances are also high that you’ve tried using a search engine to discover the secret to bulk-deleting these labels. Of course, there is none. Unlike Outlook’s trick with nesting unwanted folders inside one folder, then deleting it, there’s no way to nest your Gmail labels. You have to delete them one by one.
Or do you?
Let me introduce you to the Labels Manager For Gmail.
What Is The Labels Manager For Gmail?
The Labels Manager for Gmail is a script that you can run in Google Sheets to manage Gmail labels in bulk. This script can bulk delete Gmail labels, create labels in bulk, export labels in bulk, replace labels in bulk, and export Gmail labels to a spreadsheet. It’s incredibly easy and straightforward to use, despite being a script plugin for Google Sheets. Best of all, it’s free to use. The developer of this app, Goldy Arora, says that he originally made it for himself, but then realized the public needed it as well. So he paid it forward by sharing it with everyone!
How Can I Delete My Gmail Labels In Bulk?
Thankfully, Goldy created a series of tutorials on how to use Labels Manager For Gmail that teaches you everything you need to know to master his script. I didn’t even need to watch all of them to understand how the script worked; it’s really that easy to figure out. Mr. Arora has done an amazing job of creating a cohesive script that anyone can use.
