You may not know this, but your iPhone or iPod Touch has a significantly easier method to delete content than you may have previously been aware. In Email, for example, you’re probably under the impression that you have to hit ‘Edit’ in the upper right hand corner, select the email(s) you want deleted, then choose delete.

Here’s how you make the process of deleting a single message a lot quicker:

1. With a single finger, swipe from the left side of the message to the right.
2. Tap the box named “Delete” that will appear.

There you have it, nice and easy! This works in Mail, Messages, Notes, Safari Bookmarks, and probably at a few more Apps that I am unaware of.
