So there is a solution where you can easily both save your time and delete all messages at once in yahoo mail. And today, I will talk about how to delete more than 50 messages at a time in yahoo mail.

You can delete not only 50 messages but all the messages from the Inbox in a flash. Today I will teach you on two different yahoos: Classic yahoo and the latest version of yahoo. So let’s start the procedure without any further delay.

How can you delete more than 50 messages at a time in yahoo mail?

You can easily delete lots of yahoo email at a time from your Inbox. So if you are using the classic yahoo mail (Basic Mail), then follow Method 1 and for the latest yahoo mail, follow method 2. So move on to the steps to clean your yahoo inbox.

3. Go to your yahoo mail inbox and select the first message or mail.
4. Now scroll down to the point where you want to delete the message. In order words, if you want to delete only 30 messages, then scroll down to that 30th position message.

6. Now, press and hold the “Shift” key on your keyword to select the message which you want to delete.
