VIPs mailbox suddenly appeared and I don't want it visible

There are no messages in the VIPs mailbox that suddenly appeared in my Mail app, so I can't un-star them... How do I search and find addresses that (inadvertently) may have become starred?

To find all emails with a star use the following search term: is:starred

To find only starred items in the inbox: is:starred in:inbox

to find them in some other label: is:starred label:labelname

Here are hints regarding searching in spam and trash and other advanced search hints
