Email inboxes can get disorganized pretty quickly, especially if you're getting dozens of emails a day.
Fortunately, these days, many email clients have features that assist you in organizing your inbox. One of the most popular of these features is the folder system. Mainly, the folder system categorizes your emails so that you can keep them separate from one another and find them easily when you need them. Yahoo Mail is one such email client that lets you organize and find the email in folders.
If you've created a folder in Yahoo Mail and decide you no longer need that folder to organize your emails, there's a solution for that too: you can delete the folder.
