To delete a sent email on an iPhone, you cannot recall it, but you can minimize its impact. Open your Mail app, go to 'Sent' folder, and delete the email to remove it from your device. While this doesn't retract it from recipients, you can re-send a corrected email. For future emails, consider using Mail's 'Undo Send' feature by enabling it under 'Settings > Mail > Undo Send Delay.' This allows you to cancel an email within a short time frame after sending.
