Yes, you can delete an already sent email on Gmail if you act quickly. Gmail offers an 'Undo Send' feature that lets you recall an email within a specific time frame (up to 30 seconds) after sending. To enable or adjust this, go to Settings > See all settings > General, then set the 'Undo Send' cancellation period. After setting up, you’ll see an 'Undo' option right after you send an email.
