There should be no additional steps necessary - "sup-tweak-labels"
should be all that's needed.

I think that I've spotted the problem. The comma-separated list for the
"-r" (--remove) parameter can't have any spaces between the label names.

Please could you try this instead (spaces removed):

  /usr/local/sup/bin/sup-tweak-labels --all-sources -r gmail_archive,inbox_archive,sentg_archive,senti_archive,sentm_archive,inbox

Kind regards,
Iain
