gmail 95% full - no easy way to delete 32175 emails from trash
6 months back i submitted a request to easily delete stuff that is already in trash in my gmail a/c. I still don't see a way to do it and am currently at 95% full with 32175 emails in my trash folder.

You might have to write a little Javascript to press the buttons for you :)

have you ever noticed a small button called delete forever on the top... Click it, voila your mails are gone....

Josh,
that deletes only the emails on that specific screen (which can be a max of 100).

You could probably try writing a script using GreaseMonkey. There are already a set of useful scripts available for gmail at: http://69.90.152.144/collab/GreaseMonkeyUserScripts
