If you have more than one page of sent emails, click 'Select all conversations' that appears after selecting the first page. Finally, click the trash bin icon to delete them. Note that this will move your emails to the Trash, where they will be permanently deleted after 30 days, or you can empty the Trash to delete them immediately.
