Problem removing Labels

[Massimo Scolaro]

Hi Jay,

after a migration of emails from exchange systems, where users had created folders under Sent Items, all users now have an empty "_Inbox" label with all the various subfolders nested underneath.

if I run the command:

gam user us...@example.com delete label "_Inbox"

I find myself then all nested like this:

_Inbox / A

_Inbox / B

_Inbox / C

_Inbox / D

so the situation is even more messed up than before

is there a way with GAM to remove the parent label and prevent the nested ones from having the placeholder of the label deleted?

Thanks in advance for what you do for us

Massimo

Can you clarify what you want to happen here? You want to go from:

_Inbox / A
_Inbox / B
_Inbox / C
_Inbox / D

to:

A

B

C

D

or do you just want to delete all the _Inbox / * labels entirely?

Try:

gam user test...@example.com update labels search '^_Inbox/(.*)$' replace '%s'
