Deleting Gmails ?

Is there any way to delete a bulk of Gmails without first having to "select" each one individually, e.g. I can't find a command to "select all", like 200 plus "promotions" that I have just spent the better part of sometime deleting ?

I first of all had to select all 200+ one at a time, then the whole selection was sent to the Bin, where I had to do it all again. Once "selected" then they can be deleted in one stroke, it is the selection that takes the time.

Life's too short.

If you click on More to the left on your inbox there is an All Mail selection - don't know what it offers.

Near the top and far left is a button with an empty box and a downward arrow it. Click that and choose all, which then ticks all the boxes and you can press the dustbin button. Only a page at a time though.

I've set up Mac Mail to manage gmail accounts and it's great. 'Select all' in the junk file and erase, same with trash.
