To delete a sent email on your phone, open your email app, go to the 'Sent' folder, and select the email you wish to delete. Tap on the trash bin icon or select 'Delete' from the menu options. Note that this deletes the email from your device, but if the recipient has already received it, it won't be removed from their inbox.
