To delete more than 100 emails in Gmail, first, on your computer, go to Gmail. Above your emails list, click the checkbox to select all emails currently displayed. If you have more than 100 emails in your inbox, a message will appear at the top of the emails list saying, 'Select all conversations.' Click it. Then, press the delete button (trashcan icon). This action will delete all selected emails, not just the first 100. Be cautious, as this cannot be easily undone.
