Hi,
Try going to the messaging app on your desktop where your Yahoo account is sync to, and delete the Spam / Junk folder, then go back to your Yahoo Mail app.
Let me know if that works.
Good luck

I'm not sure what you are suggesting. I tried deleting the Buk Mail folder from my desktop Mail app, but it won't let me do that.

Hi,
I've tried to reproduce the issue by creating a new folder named "Test", then I've moved the "Bulk Mail" folder into that new folder (done with Outlook for desktop). On the Yahoo Mail app, the "Spam" folder became a subfolder of the "Test" folder.
Using Mozilla Thunderbird, I've renamed the "Test" folder by "Bulk Mail" and the original folder reappeared. After that, the "Spam" folder was back in place in Yahoo Mail. It was possible to delete the "Test" folder, then.
I hope this will help you to solve your issue.
Good luck

The above steps doesn't work with Yahoo itself. You need to download an email software on your PC and sync your account with it. Try Thunderbird, it worked for me to fix the Spam folder.
