I wrap this line of code in a little function to delete
(actually move Trash) a mail item. The item deleted is either
the one point is on in the Summary Buffer (which must be the
current buffer) or, if the Summary Buffer has items processed
marked, it trashes all of the marked ones.

It's not a split line. I don't split in Gnus. In my workflow,
there's no reason for me not to let Gmail apply labels and
avoid the overhead of splitting in Gnus, although then I do
add the overhead of using IMAP to fetch multiple Gmail groups.

However if you want to split and then delete all your Inbox in
Gmail, there should be some sort of hook to call a function
after splitting (I don't offhand know what it is as once
again, I don't split in Gnus).

Here is my full function for deleting EVERYTHING from a
Summary Buffer. If you bring up the Gmail Inbox in a Summary
Buffer, you can move it all to Trash. This will get it out of
All Mail. (This could be dangerous! I have a confirmation,
which you would want to remove if you fully automate this.)

In summary:

1. Do your split (to non-Gmail groups).
2. Bring up Gmail INBOX in a Summary Buffer.
3. Call this function.

own risk!)

            (setq-local gnus-show-threads nil)

nil))
        (message "Must be in summary buffer"))))
