This seems to be more complicated than I thought. But I found these reddit replies that explain a potential solution: www.reddit.com/r/GMail/comments/pxcc2v/removing_promotions_and_updates_labels/?rdt=61653
Perhaps you could help me with an issue going on for literally years, (and it seems, despite the numerous HELP features and forums I've tried don't understand how to fix.) for whatever reason, my email creates hundreds of labels on its own. For example, I have outbox_0, Outbox_1, Outbox_1-0, Outbox_1_0_0 etc that does this through HUNDREDS of 0-'s ! It does this with ALL the Label names...Junk, Trash, etc. I was told an email "client" may be doing this, but how does one figure out which client? Hiding the label in settings, does not stop this infuriating situation, and Gmail has no way for me to delete the thousands of labels that exist in the "label" category. I will check back to this tutorial to see if you have any suggestions. Please reply. Thank you!
Hi, thanks for your question. What email client do you have connected to your gmail account (e.g. Outlook, Apple Mail)? If you directly log in to gmail, do the labels also display or is it only in the email client?
Nope. My Gmail does not look like that in chrome. I click on edit. I click on new mailbox. I set one up. Nothing ever happens. I try to change the name of existing folder. I click on save. Nothing ever happens. Google is an evil company pure evil.
I am sorry to hear that your gmail looks different than in the video. I know there are different layouts that you can chose from but it should still let you use all the labels as explained in the video.
How do I delete or get rid of "Updates", "Important", and "Promotions"
labels? Isn't there a user doc for gmail?
