This will filter emails within your defined range. Then, click the checkbox to select all conversations. If you have more emails than displayed on the page, a message appears at the top; click on 'Select all conversations' link. Finally, click the trash bin icon to delete. Remember, this action is irreversible, so ensure you've selected the right emails.
