I deleted emails using InboxPurge, but they still appear in my inbox. Why?

Deleted Emails Are Still in My Inbox—What’s Happening?

If you deleted emails using InboxPurge but still see them in your inbox, here are a few possible reasons and how to fix them:

1. Gmail Sync Delay

Sometimes, Gmail takes a few moments to fully process bulk email deletions. Try refreshing your inbox or waiting a few minutes to see if the emails disappear.

2. Important or Starred Emails Were Not Deleted

If you enabled the option to exclude important or starred emails, those emails remain in your inbox even if other emails from the same sender were deleted.

• Fix: Try deleting emails again without the exclusion settings.

3. Gmail Filters or Third-Party Apps Are Restoring Emails

Some users have Gmail filters, labels, or third-party email apps that automatically move emails back to the inbox.

• Fix: Check your Filters and Blocked Addresses in Gmail settings to see if any rules are restoring emails.

4. Manual Refresh

After making changes, manually refresh Gmail by:

• Clicking the refresh button in Gmail.
• Signing out and signing back in.
