How do I permanently delete emails ?

Hi can I permanently delete emails from my iminiipad without having to remove all my settings and data
Even though I am not logged in to my gmail account and have double deleted within gmail, some of my emails appear to be stored on the iPad and comeup when I do a spotlightsearch

Hi even though my emails are set to delete and not archive, they still seem to show up in the spotlight search.
I also need to get rid of some old emails  and other data and was just wondering if there was a way of removing all the data searched on too ?
When you reset your iPad it seems to give you the only option of removing all the settings or removing all the settings and all the data?

  • Mail 4.5 - how do I permanently delete email attachments?

    I'm using Mail 4.5 on OS X 10.6.8 - I'm using a late-2008 aluminium unibody MacBook with a 250GB hard drive and I only have 4Gb of available space left.  I'm trying to free up space on my hard disk and I downloaded Disk Inventory X to check what was taking up so much space - apart from my iPhoto library and Pictures folder which together account for about 125GB I see that the folder containing Mail messages is 42.8GB in size!
    I'm assuming that this is because I've received a lot of photos via email but I've added the ones I wanted to my iPhoto library so I assume I no longer need the images that were emailed to me.
    Can someone please tell me where I can find these email attachments so that I can delete them all at once - I'm hoping that I don't have to go through all my emails one by one to select and delete them individually?
    Cheers

    Hi again .... The Preferences/Accounts/Advanced tab is set to Keep all messages and their attachments for offline viewing.
    I agree that it seems strange to say that junk messages should never be deleted ... it was one of the settings in the article that I thought odd but assumed that 'there must be a reason'. 
    I had a look in my Macintosh HD/Tricia/Library/Mail folders - there would appear to be a great many ....
    Disk Inventory is telling me that my Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Recovered Messages folders are the following size -
    Mail 46.4 GB
    Mailboxes 44.8 GB
    Recovered Messages 42.1 GB
    When I look at the Recovered Messages data it shows 775 messages numbered from 260549 to 161324 with a suffix of .emlx - each one is 69.6 MB exactly!  Apart from these messages there are another 40 odd with sizes that range from 5.6MB down to 2KB.  I have the feeling that this might be where my problem arises but I have no idea what these Recovered Messages are.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

  • How do I permanently delete email messages from my Mail inbox?

    Ever since I migrated from Mobile Me to iCloud, I can't seem to delete messages from my MacBook Mail inbox.  They just reappear seconds later.  What do I need to do to delete them permanently?  I've tried looking in the settings, preferences, accounts, etc.  I've also made sure to select the "hide deleted messages" from the View tab.  Please help!  I am sure that there is a simple solution.  They are also staying on my iPhone and iPad.

    Settings > General > Spotlight Search > Uncheck Messages
    It's that or Restore the device as New with iTunes
    Hope that helps

  • How can I permanently delete subfolders in email Trash?

    I have been getting duplicate email messages in one of my email folders for several weeks.  I think it started when I upgraded to OS X 10.6.6.  I have RoadRunner as a mail server and have not had this problem before on either my iMac or a previous PC.  I read many many support messages regarding duplicate email messages from this board and tried many of the hopeful fixes but none of them worked on a permanent basis. 
    I do not have any other electronic machines that hold or try to access my email.  I did, however just order a new laptop and would really like to get the duplication problem fixed before I receive the new computer.
    I have 2 email addresses on one server (RoadRunner).  They each have their own folder in Mail Inbox,  one is labeled Personal and the other is labeled Business.  I can send and receive email from my Personal address but I can only RECEIVE mail from my Business address.  I receive the duplicate messages in my Business Inbox folder. 
    I have deleted messages only to see them reappear the next time I open the folder.  Some of the 'fixes'  I tried caused me to have 3 or 4 duplications.  I noticed that all the instances of a message and its duplications would go to the Trash folder when I used the delete feature.   My Trash Folder also has 2  subfolders, one for Personal and one for Business.  I noticed that when I try to drag a deleted message from the Trash/Business folder it would not allow itself to be placed back in the Inbox/Business folder.  But when I dragged the deleted message from the main Trash Folder to the Inbox/Business folder it would allow itself to be deposited.  So, I deleted the subfolders under the Trash Folder and all seemed to be great.  No more duplicated.  But - the subfolders keep reappearing when I reopen mail.  I have deleted the subfolders each time, but they won't stay deleted.  How do I permanently delete the Trash subfolders?

    You are seeing an intentional but strange feature of GMail...  nothing is ever deleted, and instead remains forever in All Mail.  You probably want to just hide All Mail from Mail, so that you don't have to see it and don't have all those messages syncing back to your Mac.  See Hiding GMail’s “All Mail” from Apple Mail.  There has been one change on GMail since I wrote that, though...  you no longer have to go to Labs and turn on Advanced IMAP.

  • I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

    I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

    Weird.
    Someone might stop by who has experienced/fixed/read about this before.  In the meantime...
    By "re-indexed my email" do you mean you rebuilt the mailbox via the "Rebuild" command in the Mailbox menu?  Did you try that for all the affected mailboxes?
    Also, you might try experimenting with the settings in Mail, Preferences, Accounts having to do with whether junk mail messages are stored on the server and whether they are to be deleted.
    Does this behavior persist when you are not connected to the internet?

  • HOW DO I RECOVER PERMANENTLY DELETED EMAILS

    HOW CAN I RECOVER PERMANENTLY DELETED EMAILS?

    It's only a lesson if you learn from it. Get an external hard drive that is at least 2-3 times larger than what you need to back up and use that with Time Machine. And that will only be a start, as a single backup isn't really much of a backup.
    For more info, see:

    (That has gotten to be a little outdated, but overall is still good.)
    PS - turn off caps lock! That makes it harder to read your posts.

  • Permanently deleting emails from Gmail, while saving them in AppleMail

    I'm trying to figure out how to permanently delete emails from my Gmail All Mail folder without deleting them from the folders I moved them to in the On My Computer area of my AppleMail on my MacBook Pro.  I like the IMAP syncing function in Gmail that keeps my iphone, ipad and MacBook all synced from an email perspective.  However, I don't like my emails living on Gmail's servers any longer than they have to.  I don't want them living on Apple's servers either, so I'm not using iCloud. 
    I only want emails to remain on the Gmail servers for as long as I keep them in either my inbox or sent items.  I use those two folders as my holding zones for items that still require action.  Once I have done what needs to be done in regard to an email, I either delete it or I move it to a folder under On My Computer on my MacBook Pro for possible later reference.  If I move an email to a folder, I never want it to be deleted.  I use a Time Capsule to back up my Macbook through Time Machine, so I'm not worried about losing my historical email files from a hard drive problem.  I also back up the MacBook quarterly to a separate hard drive which I store offsite in case a catastrophe at my home destroys both my MacBook and the Time Capsule.
    I have about 8 years of email history that I imported from my old PC into the MacBook in AppleMail and I now want to clean out the All Mail account in my Gmail to delete all those emails, but I need them to remain in my folder system on the MacBook.
    Can anyone tell me how to delete all mail from the Gmail account without having the IMAP function delete them from my MacBook Pro?
    Here's an added complication.  When I move an email from my inbox to a folder on my MacBook, I do want that email to disappear from my ipad and my iphone. In essence, I like to manage all my emails from my MacBook Pro if they need to be saved into folders, but I also like to be able to delete emails that don't need to be saved from any of my devices and have that deletion sync to all my devices.
    I haven't been able to figure this one out.  Any help is appreciated.

    Make local folders (On My Mac) and move the mails there, they will delete from the GMail servers but remain accessible in Mail, only in Mail.
    All Mail (in Gmail) is not a folder, it is a label for all your mail, anything in there is also in one of GMails folders, when you delete from All Mail you are deleting the original mail.

  • How do you permanently delete trash in the deleted items folder?

    I have over 4000 deleted emails in my deleted items folder. How do I permanently delete them from that folder? Thanks.

    Hello,
    If you are talking about the Deleted Items folder in an Outlook client, you probably should ask in the
    Microsoft Office Community Forums.
    Otherwise, I'd probably ask in the
    Outlook.com forum on Microsoft Community.
    In both cases, however, you should be able to right click the Deleted Items folder and select "Empty Folder"

  • How do I permanently delete contacts from my text message log?

    How do I permanently delete contacts from my text message log?  It still shows old contacts once I've removed them from my phonebook

    i know that!! After you delete them and then compose a new text it is still there. Basically you know when you send an email to someone and do not store them it still auto populates their name. This is what happens with my phone. I Google this issue and learn some knowledge about data eraser tips.  Maybe most people still don’t know that actual contents of file are not really deleted when performing simple deletion operation on your iPhone or other devices. But they are just marked for deletion and not shown in the file system of your iOS device. The actual data are still physically present on your iPhone. For iOS system, the only way to completely erase the data is to overwrite the original contents by using iPhone data eraser app. this is the guide on how to permanently delete contacts on iPhone.
      The same thing happens to me, but it doesn't require deleting a contact. When I delete/replace a contact's number, the Messages.app still autocompletes the number with the contact's name and references it as "other".

    how do you permanently delete apps from all your mac products (MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone)

    They are not taking up storage space.  Apple knows you installed them at one time (="purchased", whether you paid money or not), and merely keeps a list so that if you wish to reinstall any of them on this or a future device, you can.  This is useful if maybe you deleted them due to space constraints, and now have a device with more memory and wish to reinstall.
    It's also useful for taking a trip down Memory Lane looking at all the useless apps you installed once then immediately deleted once you realized they were total garbage ...
