I "archived" a text and it disappeared and I don't know how to "un-archive" it or even know where my "archives" is located! How can I find my "archived files"? On your computer, open Gmail. On the left, click More All Mail. Tip: To search for archived messages: At the top of Gmail, click the search bar. Enter: in:archive Archive: To put the selected conversations into your archives, tap Archive . Archived conversations disappear from the Home screen, but you can still read them.
