We would recommend you set aside some time to unsubscribe from unwanted emails so that you can have a clean inbox that can be tackled and you get to see the crucial emails, not the emails that you no longer want.
You may have signed up for some newsletters that you no longer wish to receive. The good thing is that most of them would have an unsubscribe button in every email. You just need to click the unsubscribe link.
