How to delete a grayed-out mailbox in Mail?

I deleted a mailbox but now it keeps showing up grayed-out in my Favorites on the left sidebar. How can I delete it permanently when it's grayed out?

Typically you can Control click>Remove




if there is something more to the question, or what exact mailbox is this associated with...


If you spin the carrot can you not hide any sub-folder(?)





Is there some associate issue..?



If it is an Account in Mail>Settings>Accounts delete it there or disable it and compare your results.
