How to delete a Mailbox or folder

I have somehow acquired extra mailboxes (or folders) which I have not added.
One is called VIPs and has a star at the left. This folder appeared a couple of days ago
and is empty. When I click using fingers, there is no option to delete. Can you please
advise how I can lose this folder.
Using GMail for emails. Have checked previous posts but can find no reference which
solves the issue.
Using Macbook Pro.
Thank you

Thank you very much for prompt replies.
Checking through solutions.
One post advises doing the folowing -
Quit from mail, and then do this:
In the finder, under GO, pull down to "Go to Folder" and enter ~/library
Open Mail
Open V2
Open MailData
Delete VIPSenders.plist
Restart Mail
Unfortunately, I have no heading for GO in Finder, will come back to this later.
Quite new to Macs.
Really appreciate your help.

Question: any recommendation on how to delete (or group to folder) numerous duplicates in iPhoto. I create a folder, only to find it empty, and the photos in another unrelated folder, sometimes combined with those photos but other times bumping that alb

Question: any recommendations on how to delete (or group to folder to burn) many duplicate photos in iPhoto? I had considered using D Annhilator, but I saw several comments re: same to make me rethink this. I have thousands, literally, duplicates. It's like they reproduce overnight. I cannot get a reasonable explanation re: why this is happening. I thought I would start with "albums" and try to drag those to a burn folder, but that will take a long time. I hate to mess with "library" or "events" at this time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone know how to delete emails from trash folder?

I have hada Droid phone for about 6 months. When I delete emails from my inbox it goes to a "trash" file (similiar to trash file in Outlook). It is getting full. Any idea how to delete from trash folder. My wife also bought the same phone but she does not have a trash file. No one at our verizon store can answer my question as to how to delete from trash folder and don't seem to know how I have a trash folder on my email account.

I'd go on the P.C. side of your Mail and start clearing it will clean what's on the phone and the Computer i have done this Many time on my Gmail and Yahoo.. b33

How to delete tracks from Music Folder?

After selecting all of the tracks of one of my iTunes playlists, i.e., an album, and clicking Option + Delete to move them to the Trash, I accidentally clicked Enter and, by default, selected the "Keep Files" option instead of the "Move to Trash" option in the "Do you want to move the selected songs to the Trash, or keep them in the iTunes Music folder?" dialogue box. I went to Home > Music folder > iTunes folder > iTunes Music folder > the folder of the album artist, but I do not see the folder of the album in the artist folder. How can I find these tracks so that I can send them to the Trash as intended?
Thanks,
Paul

After performing a (Finder) Find for .aif files, I located the tracks and was able to delete the playlist (album) folder with the tracks. So no assistance needed after all.
However, inexplicably, the folder with the tracks to be deleted was located in iTunes Music folder > Compilations folder, rather than in the artist folder. After finding and moving the folder of the tracks to the Trash, I checked the info of the original CD in iTunes out of curiosity and discovered that "Part of a compilation" was checked for the tracks, even though this is not a compilation (or even a live) album. I assume this sort of...tagging, I guess...was originally imbedded in the CD and is not a result of any glitch in iTunes. In fact, in the Compilations folder, I noticed several albums which are not compilation albums. I'd appreciate any thoughts or explanations as to why some non-compilation albums are checked as compilation albums.
Thanks,
Paul

How to delete a password-protected folder?

If I use disk utility to create a password-protected folder (disk image) on my Mac, could someone else easily drag that folder to the trash and delete it?
Or do you need the password to delete a password-protected folder?

The password only keeps them from opening the folder without the password. If they have access to the account, then they have the same abilities as you to install or delete files or folders.
If you don't want someone messing with your data, then they should have their own account on the computer and log out of yours when your done. You can create an account each of the other family members, or create one account for the rest of the family to use and one for you. That way you can restrict what they can and can't do on the computer such as installing applications, etc.

How to Delete songs safely from folder and not lose on MediaSou

I had a bunch of music on Limewire that was in Mediasource..... I had changed all the names and titles so it was accurate, and then so Mediasource wouldnt think there was new songs(due to the same songs having different or cleaned up titles)? I deleted the files from Limewire....well since the limewire folder was linked to Mediasource, it deleted those too? ??I thought it took those files and saved them in another folder, I now know that not to be the case......but is there anyway to accomplish this? I want to be able to have the songs: Name, Title, etc. all clear and in the right order, but how do I keep media sniffer from thinking there is a new song due to the title change??Any help would be greatly appreciated....

How to delete photos from faces folder?

Hi my iPhoto events are all clear of photos as are all my folders. However I have 4000 photos sitting in the faces folder - how do I delete these?

Sorry but that doesn't make sense to me. There is no reason to remove the faces thumbnails. Are you trying to empty a library or something? If so, don't waste your time. Just trash it and make a new one.

How to delete photos in a folder without causing unintended empty space?

So I like to keep photos in a typical Finder folder. The thing is, whenever I delete a photo, there's an empty space where that photo used to be. And those empty spaces add up and the result is not too visually appealing. Is there any way to remove all the empty spaces at once? Thanks in advance.

Try setting a default Sort By setting using COMMAND-J while viewing the window. You can configure other settings as well:

How to delete a mailbox in Macbook air?

I just got a Macbook air. Added a gmail account in the mail box. However, I want to delete it. But the "delete mailbox" is not black, and I cannot delete it. It says it's a IMAP account, and I need to contact my account provider. There is no such person. What should I do to delete an IMAP mail box if the "delete mailbox" is not black?
I went through its instruction but still cannot delete it.

In Apple's Mail, go to Preferences under Mail in the Menu, click on "Accounts" on top, find your gmail account, and click the minus sign in the lower left.
That will remove the entire account. I assume that's what you're trying to do.
