Q: How do I approve or dismiss an Auto Rules suggestion?

Open the Auto rules tile on the Home screen. Each suggestion shows what it is, why it's safe, whether it's a Move or a Delete, and roughly how much it would free — press Approve for the ones you want and Dismiss for the rest. A dismissed item won't nag you again unless it grows a lot later. It moves to Dismissed — reclaim anytime, where Restore turns it back into a suggestion whenever you change your mind. A note in the notification bell tells you when there are new suggestions to review. See What are Auto Rules?

Short answer: Open the Auto rules tile on the Home screen and press Approve or Dismiss on each suggestion. Dismissed items move to Dismissed — reclaim anytime, where Restore brings them back, and they won't nag you unless they grow a lot.
