Most of the giant email provider companies like Gmail, Yahoo etc. they offer a function to create folders. Folders allow you to manage your email account and keep your emails separate from each other. You receive a number of emails every day, some of which are not that important. So you can simply transfer the important ones to a separate folder and check the folder whenever you need the emails.
Another scenario is when you no longer need the emails in a particular folder. In that case, you can simply delete that Yahoo Mail folder. If you don’t know how to do that, let me show you how to delete a folder in Yahoo mail.
Before we start with the removal part, let’s see how you can create a folder in Yahoo first.
Create a folder in Yahoo Mail
- First of all, you need to log into your Yahoo mail account and once you are in, click on the ‘Mail’ icon on the top right hand corner.
- On the next page, click on the ‘New Folder’ option at the bottom of the left-hand column.
- Next, in the text field provided, enter the name of your folder, for example, I am creating a folder here called Jobs, where I can save all emails related to my jobs, after entering the name, click the ‘Arrow’ in blue or press ‘Enter’ on your keyboard.
- That was it and your new Yahoo folder has been created.
Delete a folder in Yahoo Mail
Take a look at the steps to remove a Yahoo Mail folder from your account:
- Click the ‘Mail’ icon in the upper right corner after logging into your Yahoo account.
- In the left side column, scroll down and you will see all the folders you have created; click the one you want to delete. Here I have clicked on the one I want to delete i.e. Jobs.
- You will see all the emails that the folder has; you must delete them all before you can delete the folder. Without deleting the emails, you can’t delete a Yahoo folder. So select all the emails in the folder and click ‘Delete’.
