Pretty easy to do this.  In your Canvas Inbox (not the same as e-mail, by the way), select the first message that you want to delete.  Next, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard.  While holding down the Shift key, select the last message that you want to delete.  This should highlight the span of messages from the first message you selected to the last.  Then, click on the trash can icon at the top right corner of the Inbox to delete those messages.

This is covered in the sections "Select Multiple Conversations" and "Delete Multiple Conversations" in the following Guides:

* How do I delete a conversation as an instructor?
* How do I delete a conversation as a student?

Note: The Ctrl key lets you select each individual message that you want to delete.  The Shift key will let you select a span of messages.
