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.
Use the Labels settings menu to show or hide relevant labels:
Open Gmail in a browser window and select the Settings gear in the upper-right corner of the screen. Choose See all settings. Select the Labels tab to display the Labels settings. 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.
