If you're trying to delete several messages at once, this is the fastest way to do so:


Click the "Mail Options" link on the top right navigation bar and choose "General Preferences."
Find the Number of Messages (displayed at one time) heading and increase the value to 200 (the maximum).
Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the "Save" button.
Return to the folder which contains the messages you would like to delete.
Click the "Check All" link (located beneath the list of messages or on the check box located to the right of the "sender" heading,) Clicking this link will select the first 200 messages in the folder (or all of the messages, if the folder contains less than 200).
Click the "Delete" button to delete the selected messages.
Repeat the above step for each screen full of messages in the folder, until all of the unwanted messages have been moved to the trash folder.
Aside from this method, there is no specific way to delete a particular folder's entire contents at once. When you delete messages in Yahoo! Mail, they're transferred to your trash folder. If you delete a message by mistake, you can find it in the trash and move it to your inbox or another folder in order to recover it. Please note that messages in your trash folder do not count against your quota. However messages in your trash folder can be deleted at any time without warning.

To permanently remove the contents of the trash, click the "Empty" link next to the trash folder in the left navigation bar. Next, you will see a prompt asking if you're sure you want to delete all messages. Click "Yes" to delete or "No" to return to the previous page.

Please Note: Once messages are emptied from the trash folder, they are permanently deleted from the Yahoo! Mail server and cannot be recovered.

What email service are you using? if it's yahoo, you can create a new account and forget about the other, in a couple of months it will be cancelled. If it's Outlook, you could re-install the program as new so it clears everything, including contacts, or do it one day at a time.
I hope someone else can give you a better idea, this is as far as I can imagine.

In each folder, highlight the first of the emails, then scroll down to the last one, hold down the shift key, and click on the last one. That'll highlight all of them. Then hit the Delete key.
