Removing all email from iPhone 8

Is there a way to remove all my emails at one time from my iPhone 8? I have over 12,000 emails on it that I do not want. Removing them individually is too time consuming. Thank you in advance for your help.

Strange, it just worked on my X (12.1.2), this was the section I followed.



From the Inbox I tapped "Edit", then selected the top mail, then pressed and held "Move" while unselecting the top mail, then let go of "Move", it instantly took me to the Move Screen that had all my mail.


With your amount of mail may be you have to give it a little more time.


Not sure why it's not working for you.
