    I've had good success with deleting about 300-400 at a time. Here's what I do.

    At the top left of the Yahoo Inbox, there's a checkbox and a down-pointing arrow. Click the arrow and it gives you various ways to select email: from All, None, Read, Unread, Starred, Unstarred. Since I want to keep the emails I've starred, first I sort by unstarred.

    This puts a checkmark in front of the first 50 emails that are unstarred. Scroll down until only the last few checked emails show and click Unstarred again. You can do this anywhere from three to six times, checking several hundred emails. Usually it messes up and unchecks the ones you already checked somewhere after 400 and you have to start over. (I think the most I ever deleted at one time was just under 700.)

    Once you’ve checked a whole lot, at least a couple hundred, you delete them. At the top center, you click Delete and it hovers at 5% completed for so long you wonder if it's going to work, then all of a sudden it finishes.

    If you do this while you're semi-busy at another window or tab, you can delete thousands without it being a big deal. It's easy to do this while using Yahoo Answers or social media.

    I cleared 19,000 emails from the account that had the most, for the record. I could easily have done it in a single morning, while I was doing other things.

    You can delete up to 100 emails at a time, or in groups. Put a check in the box at the top left of the message list to select all and then hit Delete: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN16015.html
