Clear "Recent Labels" list in Gmail It's bugged me for awhile that Gmail shows a "Recent Labels" list when viewing the labels.  Does anyone know how to clear this list or even remove it?

Gmail: 4.7.1

OS: Jelly Bean - 4.1.2
Although the Original Answer is already in place, let me just re-phrase it, which hopefully resemble Vanilla Android AOSP based phones.


Open "Settings" application 
Choose "Apps" or "Applications" from the list of different Settings. 
Locate "GMail" App in the List of Apps shown. 
Select "Gmail" App and in this screen, there is "Clear Data" option available.  Tap the button Clear data. Confirm the operation and wait for Gmail Sync to complete.  


This should clear the Recent labels.
