How can you delete new folders that you created in your Yahoo mailbox?

I created some new folders in yahoo mail, I can't get them deleted now, I've already tried right clicking on them but delete is not one of the options. Any idea??

    Hi Miss Tink,

    I think you go to the far right of your in box screen you'll see Folders [ADD EDIT]

    Click EDIT

    Once you are there you will see all your FOLDERS (new/old)

    Find the FOLDER(S) you wish to DELETE and click DELETE

    The entire folder should be gone at this point...

    Source(s): I tested it before I answered this by creating a folder and then following the above instructions...worked for me!
