Gmail is a popular email provider. It offers users the ability to organize their emails in folders for easier access. You can also create new labels to help you manage your inbox. The good news is that it’s pretty easy to do. However, before you start spamming your contacts, take the time to delete unwanted folders and emails. That way, you can free up space on your computer.
For a lot of people, managing their mail is the key to their productivity. This is especially true if you have a lot of emails to deal with. And the best way to do it is to set up a good workflow. One of the simplest ways to do this is to organize your mail into different folders, and then filter your inbox accordingly.

If you have an iPhone or iPad, you can use the Apple Mail app to create a folder and delete the folder’s contents. Although this method is fairly simple, you should still be aware of its limitations. As a result, the following desktop procedure is likely to work better.
First, open the Gmail app and log in to your account. From there, scroll down the menu to see the Trash folder. After you’ve figured out where to find the trash, you can begin deleting emails. When you’re ready to get rid of your email, you can either click the Trash icon or click the trash arrow if you’re using the iOS version of the app.
Next, click the “New Label” button in the Labels section. When you do, Gmail will prompt you to name the new label. A pop-up window will appear with various options. Pick the one that fits your needs. Once you’ve decided, you can choose whether to save the new label as an existing folder, or create a new stand-alone folder.
In addition to the “New Label” icon, you may also be presented with the aforementioned “Mirror Obscure Morse Mover” or the “Waste Bin” as the lucky winner. Both of these features are a bit of a stretch, but the former is more functional than the latter. Specifically, it’s the best gimmick, and it’s definitely the quickest.

The “Waste Bin” gimmick is probably the most important. Not only does it display the aforementioned three dots, but it also provides a slew of other useful features. Besides the aforementioned three dots, you can click on the “Delete” option, which will erase the label from your Gmail account. Also, you can remove a label by clicking the red arrow in the far right corner of the window.
As with the other features, you’ll want to be sure to follow the instructions carefully. If you’re going to remove a label from Gmail, you’ll want to do it properly. Otherwise, you could end up losing your mail conversations and the folder you’ve just created. To keep your information secure, you should also use the password-protected feature.
Another way to accomplish the “Mirror Occurrence” is to go to the web browser and search for the aforementioned gimmick. But be aware that the web browser can be slow.
