[Electronics-talk] Gmail full of emails that shouldn't be there.

[Christopher Chaltain]

Messages in your All Mail folder will not be deleted after a certain 
period of time, unless they're also in your Trash folder. I'm guessing 
these messages have no labels associated with them, which is why they're 
in the All Mail folder but you aren't seeing them in any other folder. 
You could go through them and move the ones you want into the Trash 
folder, and then they'll be deleted after a while. the ones you want to 
keep you could move into the folder where you want it stored.
