For example, it is a method that can be used when you want to delete the label created in Gmail at once.

Function to delete Gmail label｜deleteLabel()

GAS has a function for removing Gmail labels.

deleteLabel()

You can use this to delete currently created labels.

First, get the current label. Labels can be obtained using “GmailApp.getUserLabels()”.

function deleteAllLabel() {
const labels = GmailApp.getUserLabels();
}

Now you can get the current label.

function deleteAllLabel() {
const labels = GmailApp.getUserLabels();
 for(let i=0;i<labels.length;i++) {
    Logger.log(labels[i].getName());
  }
}

Remove the label. Labels can be deleted with “deleteLabel()”.

function deleteAllLabel() {
const labels = GmailApp.getUserLabels();
 for(let i=0;i<labels.length;i++) {
    labels[i].deleteLabel();
  }  
}

Try running the script.

All labels removed!

I was able to remove the label at once! However, once you execute it, you will not be able to restore it, so be very careful when doing this.
