I just took an hour or two of my time to clean it up completely.
Find an email from a service that you don’t want
Click “unsubscribe”
Search all emails from the service
Delete them all
Repeat
When clicking “Unsubscribe” and you are redirected to a mailchimp or similar email service, select “I did not sign up for this”. This way they can get in trouble with their email service :)
Well I’m from Europe. Being added to marketing mails without my explicit consent is illegal.
It’s funny because I have a GDPR complaint against a big online service that added me to their marketing list after using their online contact form to get some information. I thought it was a simple complaint but a few months later I got a legal document outlining all of the infractions they made and that there’s now a case open against this company.
If you signed up for their mails willingly that’s a totally different story of course.
I had this before, but with 7k emails I think.
