Email Overload

Hi!
Recently, Gmail made some changes which added additional folders under the left side of page menu.
Such as, updates, forums, promotions, which usually include the same items coming through the inbox, creating many duplicates and just today is causing my account to bounce.
Is there a way to remove these labels, etc. or a setting that can be changed?
Thank you in advance.
 

Nobe,

I'm not seeing anything new in either of my Gmail accounts, I think you may have simply opened something that was already there:

Those items under Categories are just different collections of messages from your Inbox. They aren't duplicates of your Inbox messages, just another way of searching for them.

and just today is causing my account to bounce.

What do you mean by "bounce"? Do you mean that you attempted to send a message to a group and it "bounced" back? Or do you mean that you aren't receiving messages from your groups? Gmail has truly enormous storage limits so it is fairly unlikely that your Inbox would be full.

For what it is worth, your address hasn't bounced any messages from GMF. I can't tell about your other group subscriptions, but you can by visiting the Recent Bounces page of your Groups.io Account. Report back here what it tells you there, particularly in the Reason column, if there are any Recent Bounces listed.

Is there a way to remove these labels, etc. or a setting that can be changed?

Probably. But it is likely easier to just hide them by clicking that little triangle to the left of the word Categories. This is not a Groups.io issue, so you probably want to find a Gmail support forum where you can ask questions about Gmail.
