To delete a mailbox folder, you will need to access your email account through a web browser. The process generally involves right-clicking the folder and selecting the delete option.
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Access your email account via web: Open your preferred web browser and navigate to the login page of your email provider (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo).
- Locate the folder pane: Once logged in, look for the folder pane, which is typically on the left side of the screen.
- Right-click on the folder: Find the specific folder (or subfolder) that you wish to delete, then right-click on it.
- Select "Delete Folder": From the context menu that appears, choose the "Delete Folder" option. This will start the folder deletion process.
- Confirm the action: A confirmation prompt will appear, asking if you're sure you want to delete the selected folder. Select "OK" to confirm.
Note: The exact wording and appearance of the menu might slightly vary based on your email provider, but the general concept remains the same.
Example:
If you are using an Outlook email on the web, the process looks like this:
Step | Action |
---|---|
1 | Open your web browser and go to outlook.com |
2 | Login to your outlook account |
3 | In the left pane, find your folder |
4 | Right click on the folder |
5 | Select "Delete Folder" |

By following these steps, you can successfully delete a folder from your mailbox.
