Gmail help reference on deleting mail >> https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7401?hl=en
before you delete i suggest you read this http://gmail-miscellany.blogspot.com/2012/10/how-gmail-stores-your-mail.html because gmail only has 1 copy of each email and it is only in one place no matter how many labels it has so if you delete it from one view you are deleting the one and only copy of that email
also note - if you have conversation view on it affects how you delete emails - if you get a reply to a sent email , OR you reply to a received email and you delete the email or the reply - they will both be deleted unless you pull down the arrow on the right of the email you want to delete and select delete this message ( or turn conversation view off in gmails settings >> click the

OK I'VE FOUND OUT HOW TO SIMPLY AND EASILY DELETE BULK EMAILS IN GMAIL!!!!
You're Welcome! (It only took me 5 years to figure it out...and I just cleaned out 37000 emails in a minute // Must do this on a computer)
1) Click on little box to 'Select ALL' emails (Its above the word 'Primary')
2) When you do this, a grey line appears underneath saying '50 emails selected' BUT!!! IN BLUE TO THE RIGHT IS " SELECT ALL X number of emails in X folder " >> CLICK ON THIS
3) NOW LOOK UP TO THAT BOX YOU FIRST SELECTED AND CLICK ON THE RUBBISH BIN OR 'DELETE FOREVER' (whichever is visible)
VIOLA!! GONE!!!!! Hooorah!!

Good going A M 7248 but it's a bit different on my end.
1) You Click All or just click the check box.
2) Select all conversations that match this search
3) Then you click the delete little garbage pail looking thing.
4) Then you get "Confirm bulk action
This action will affect all conversations in this search. Are you sure you want to continue?"
I'll add a little visual to make it easier to see. I couldn't have done it with out you A M 7248
