Hey there EllenBEX,


Once you have your search results displayed, you can select "Edit" at the bottom of the Mail app, select the emails you want to manage, then select one of the options at the bottom. For example, you can choose to flag those emails, place them in another folder, or delete them.


For more details on deleting emails on your iPhone, use the info below:


There are multiple ways to delete emails. Do any of the following:
While viewing an email: Tap the More Actions button, then tap the Delete button.
While viewing the email list: Swipe an email left, then choose Trash from the menu.
To delete the email in a single gesture, swipe it all the way to the left.
Delete multiple emails at once: While viewing a list of emails, tap Edit, select the emails you want to delete, then tap Trash.
To select multiple emails quickly, swipe down through the checkboxes.
To turn the deletion confirmation on or off, go to Settings  > Mail, then turn Ask Before Deleting on or off (below Messages).
