Get rid of "welcome to your new inbox" in gmail The message and graphics for "welcome to your new inbox" has been in my gmail app since priority inbox showed up,  and I can't get rid of it.



What to do? 

I am on Lollipop, but the problem was also there before I upgraded both OS and the GMail app.
Clear the Gmail app's data &amp; cache in Settings > Applications.

It achieves your desired result - getting rid of that message permanently after a single swipe. I can't tell you why, only that I had the same problem, found the solution above online and that it worked for me - so I came to report back on a result that had no solution posted.
