Help deleting a phishing with a subject

[Chris Medina]

I am trying to delete bulk email by subject using :   gam all users delete messages query "subject:'Bad Email Subject'" doit

I get a WARNING: refusing to delete ANY messages for 12...@domain.com since max messages to process is 1 and messages to be deleted is 3   (12345 is the users name for example)

How can I delete more than say 10 messages for a user?

[Jay Lee]

Try:

gam print users | gam csv - gam user ~primaryEmail delete messages query "subject:Bad Email Subject" doit maxtodelete 1

• Using "gam print users" and piping it into CSV allows GAM to run against 20 users at a time instead of single file. The process will go MUCH quicker.
  
  
• The maxtodelete NN argument tells GAM how many messages it's allowed to delete from a user's mailbox and defaults to zero. We want to play it really safe when deleting user data.

gam all users delete messages query "subject:'Bad Email Subject' AND after:2018/06/14" max_to_delete 10 doit 

To be safe, I would also use the AND after: modifier, so you will only delete emails for that subject that came after the bad email started.
