What Smart Delete for Gmail is
Smart Delete for Gmail helps Gmail users clear messages in bulk with rules and recommendations based on email patterns and user behavior. It can suggest cleanup opportunities among frequent senders and target messages by sender or subject keywords. Users can queue multiple deletions for batch processing; the add-on previews matching emails and automatically excludes starred and important messages. Deleted messages go to Gmail Trash, where they remain recoverable for 30 days. The extension and web product is available through Google Workspace Marketplace and appears in Gmail’s sidebar when an email is open. Its stated permissions cover the open email’s sender and subject, mailbox searches for user-defined rules, and moving matching threads to Trash; it says it does not access email bodies or attachments. Cleanup rules run manually through “Run Cleanup Now,” and the support FAQ recommends batching deletions over 100 emails. The free plan allows 500 deletions per month and three rules. Paid options start at $1, paid once for 30-day validity; other plans include $2, paid once for 30-day validity or $10, paid once for lifetime access.
