How to Hide or Show Labels in Gmail
In Gmail, every label has its use and function, but there”s no need to see labels you rarely use. Hiding labels is a simple matter in Gmail, as is restoring them when you want to see them again.
Open Gmail in a browser window and select the Settings gear in the upper-right corner of the screen.

Select show or hide for each label in the list. The Settings screen lists all labels. The first group contains system labels. The second group contains categories—the tabs many people see along the top row of the inbox. The third group contains your custom labels.
Close the Settings screen when you”re done. All changes you make take effect immediately, so there”s no need to save or confirm your updates.

The changes you make govern your entire Gmail account, but if you access Gmail through an IMAP-enabled mail program, your label settings won”t govern which folders (labels) you see in the mail client. In the Settings screen, control which labels appear as folders in IMAP by selecting show in IMAP. This setting complements but isn”t the same as hiding labels within Gmail.
