Having an email is essential for all of your work and personal connections. You probably already have your own email account on Gmail since it’s the biggest platform out there. In addition to the emails you receive from subscriptions, friends, and coworkers, you may have noticed that you also get promotional emails. If you’re cleaning your inbox, it’s important to get rid of all the promotional emails from your Gmail account as well.

What Are Promotional Emails in Gmail?

In Gmail, the Promotions tab contains advertisements and promotional emails from companies. These emails are not considered spam by Gmail’s filtering system and are thus placed in the Promotions folder. They’re not necessarily spam emails because they could contain personalized offers from your favorite services or websites.

If you don’t take any action regarding these promotional emails, they will continue to occupy valuable space in your inbox. Receiving all of these promotional emails can be annoying, but you don’t have to delete your entire Gmail account to get rid of them. Instead, you can simply delete all the emails in your Gmail account.
