    It is actually a two step process in Yahoo.

    Step 1. In the left navigation bar, across from "My Folders", under the trash folder, click on Show to show your list of folders.

    Click on the folder you wish to remove and it will open.

    Check the box next to it, go to the top and click the Delete button.

    Step 2. Go to Folders at the top of the left navigation bar above "In-Box" and click on Edit across from Folders. Your entire list of folders will open. Now that you have emptied the folder in step 1, you can delete it in the second step. Look for the title of the folder, and across from it, you will see 0 contents. Click the little blue "Delete" link at the end of it.

    Click on the actual folder that you want to delete, then right click on it and you will see the option to delete it.
