Hiding Junk Counter in Mail App Mailbox List

I got many Junk mails and they show up on the mailbox list counter in the macOS Mail app. I do not want any counter for Junk mail like I do not want to be notified by them at all. I added a picture for clarifying the problem. I do not want that 1 number near Junk Mail.

I used to use the Microsoft Outlook app and there was no such problem. Outlook app does not have any counter for Junk mail by default.

Thanks for any help,

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.4

Rules, as P. Philips and Old Toad said, are the way to go.

If you don't want to take as drastic a measure as deleting right away, you can alternatively mark as read; this will leave the message in the junk box but since it is marked as read it won't show in the counter (since this only counts unread messages).

I tried the one below but it does not work. I have still the same issue today. I do not select perform delete the message as you showed since sometimes it cannot decide properly and put necessary mail to the junk box and I do not want that mail to be deleted. Still, no way to hide disturbing the junk mail counter. Briefly, the problem persists.
