Flagged and Archive are built-in mailboxes, so they can't really be deleted, but you can hide them from the list. On iPhone, tap Edit at the top of Mailboxes and untick them. On a Mac, hover over the Favorites heading in the sidebar and use the Edit option to remove them.
Since you're on Windows, which app are you using, iCloud.com Mail or something else? The steps differ a bit.

Thank you I will try that. As far as your second question goes, I have no idea how to answer that. My ISP ( virginmedia) has recently decided to no longer support e mails and so I am embroiled in the tortuous process of changing my e mails, most of which I have had for over 25 years, to another provider. It is a learning curve I’d rather not have had!
