Some years ago, my son managed to bump into me while I was in "All Mail" on my iphone. Everything got selected somehow, and I deleted EVERYTHING in my gmail account. It was from literally the very beginning of gmail. At the time, this was basically unrecoverable. 

Over the years I have had exactly two occasions where I needed anything from all those emails, and it was only a minor inconvenience those two times.

Just seemed like a relevant story. 😂 

 I love this 😂🫂 and honestly, I have thought about it 👀 but I got some of my mums emails on here - I’m basically her secretary 😭. Sooo tempted though 😂 I might just delete a large chunk….
