How do I eliminate "labels" from the Gmail app on Android? The Gmail on my tablet has a bunch of old &quot;labels&quot; from past email traffic, and I wish to remove/delete those labels.
None of the old labels have any documents in them (they are empty), but they are still shown on the left side of the Gmail screen. They are listed under the headings: &quot;Recent Labels&quot; and &quot;All Labels&quot;
By the way, I did access another screen that has the following listings:

delete labels
remove labels
label:Junk-E-mail-FRIENDS
cancel labels
discard labels
labels
remove account
remove account withdrawal
create labels

I tried all the above commands to eliminate the labels appearing, but with no luck.
The message I get is ...

Whoops! We didn't find anything for &quot;xxxx labels&quot;

How do I remove these old label listings from appearing on my screen?
From app help, search for Remove Labels
On a computer, open Gmail. You can't edit labels from the Gmail app.

On the left side of the page, hover your cursor over your label's name.
Click the Down arrow.
Click Remove label
