Sep 15, 2016 5:19 AM in response to edhuskyby elcpu,I don't unfortunately. I replied to a similar question yesterday and in iOS 9 there was an option to Delete All or Trash All. See Screenshot below. In iOS 10 this feature has apparently been removed. You could send feedback to Apple if you wish. They might return the feature in future upgrades, they read all:

Sep 15, 2016 6:16 AM in response to edhuskyby elcpu,I just emailed a friend of mine and a Level 10 here, a very knowledgeable user. He is on iOS 10 and tells me that his Junk mailbox still contains Delete All at the bottom right. However, it appears removed in the Inbox. I would post his screenshot but it contains personal info. I did see Delete All in Junk as he said. This other thread may shed additional info:
I don't know what to recommend to you. Perhaps this will help:
Try resetting your Mail Account. First close your Mail App completely from the app switcher window by double clicking the Home button and swiping up the Mail preview pane until it disappears from the screen. Then go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > locate your email provider, click on the account and swipe to Delete. Then restart the device. Then go back to Settings > Mail… and add the account again.

Sep 15, 2016 6:24 AM in response to elcpuby edhusky,Thanks for the reply. The delete all function is grated out for me in iOS10 Mail. I'm not about to delete and reset my mail and then reload all the 20 folders and content unless this becomes an issue. The feature was there in iOS9 but no longer is visible to use in iOS10. Thanks

Sep 15, 2016 7:00 AM in response to edhuskyby AmishCake,I just looked in my AOL junk folder and "delete all" is there. It might be worth a reset if you can get this function back.

Sep 15, 2016 7:22 AM in response to edhuskyby ChitlinsCC,Is the *account* an IMAP or POP account?
IMAP "folders", are really ON the server and "represented" on your iPhone.
Junk folder is a "stock" folder (not created BY you as a custom folder) and the "characteristics" are set up by the mail system - for instance, my Yahoo "Bulk Mail" folder has an option to "Empty Junk" - but my ISP's "Junkmail" folder does not.
If your account is IMAP, it is possible that deleting your account from your iPhone then adding it back again might restore the feature to its Junk folder - since all the content is really on the server, nothing will be lost, you will only be getting a "fresh" representation of what is there.

Sep 15, 2016 7:17 PM in response to ChitlinsCCby edhusky,I Did not delete my account. Glad I did not. An Apple tech told me the delete all function in junk mail that was there in iOS9 is no longer there in iOS10........ it's a new feature......

Sep 15, 2016 7:23 PM in response to edhuskyby ChitlinsCC,".... it's a new feature ..."
Now that it is documented!
How in the world can that be defended as an "improvement"?
Say, "La vee." I guess.

Sep 21, 2016 10:26 PM in response to edhuskyby B.Deis,Here is a workaround until Apple restores the Select All - Delete functionality in iOS 10:
1. Open the inbox you wish to delete all
2. Tap edit (top right corner)
3. Tap to select any email (this will enable the move functionality)
4. Tap & Hold "Move" (bottom center)
5. While holding "Move", tap to de-select the email from step 3 (you are doing this so all emails, not just the selected email get moved)
6. Release "Move" (this will bring up a list of destinations to move your mail
7. Tap "Trash" or "Archive" to move all messages to the respective destination
It's convoluted, but a workaround nonetheless.
