option to empty bin no longer available in mail

Hello Noel272,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! It's my understanding that you only see an option to archive unwanted email. I can help.

As quoted in: How to delete emails on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support, "Depending on the type of email account you have, you might see Archive instead of Trash when you try to delete emails. You can edit your mailbox behavior settings to change this."

If you would like to see if you can edit your mailbox settings to change the archive behavior, please use the article above and review the steps under

'Edit mailbox settings'.

Take care!

Is your mail account Gmail? If so, look at this discussion thread. There are a couple of options there to try.
