It may derive because of gmail has async structure. You may wait to finish request after page load and after select action. If you can share code flow we can examine together.

Have you tried using a different attribute ? For e.g. you can use 

//div[@data-tooltip='Delete']

or 

//div[@data-tooltip='Delete']/div/div

You can by class name or ID, e.g. with class:

driver.findElement(By.className("class")).click();

Or by element name:

driver.findElement(By.ByTagName("div")).click();

Or find the parent or child a tag.
