Your next steps
Identify records to keep
Search the sender in Gmail and inspect orders, returns, delivery details and other records. Do not rely on sender name alone.
Save necessary information
Keep important messages accessible or save attachments independently. Confirm they open and include the details you need.
Separate future mail from old mail
Unsubscribe from marketing where supported, while leaving existing messages in place if you are uncertain.
Review selective cleanup
Delete only messages you have checked in Gmail. Avoid a broad sender action when useful and unwanted mail are mixed.
Choose the right action
| Your priority | A useful approach | Before you act |
|---|---|---|
| Less future mail | Request unsubscribe from legitimate lists you no longer need. | A request is best-effort and does not remove existing messages by itself. |
| Less account storage | Review large unwanted messages and account storage using Gmail and Google’s tools. | Archive does not free capacity; review Trash before permanent deletion. |
Where Smart Cleaner helps
Smart Cleaner makes recurring senders easier to review and can request unsubscribe where available.
What it does not do
It reads sender and unsubscribe headers, not message bodies. It cannot classify a message as a receipt or guarantee sender-wide deletion will spare records.
Your review checklist
Tick these as you review. This list does not change your files or email, and clears when you leave or reload.

Questions you might still have
Can I unsubscribe without trashing all messages?
Keep the optional trash setting off and check the action before confirming. Unsubscribe and deletion serve different goals.
Can sender counts tell me what is safe?
No. A count says how much mail exists, not whether any message is important.
