New iOS update 13 - can’t delete “trash” Folder

Since the update I too was unable to delete my trash. I followed the steps to “can’t delete my trash” but it did not work until I powered down the iPad. Then turned it back on and I was then able to delete.

Easy solution to deleting all gmail trash. Secret is to stop focusing on gmail and focus on All Trash.

Open your Email icon on each device...iPad or iPhone ....so you see a list for all your accounts.

Tap EDIT at top right which brings up options for want you want to see in the very top general Mail box. Select ALL TRASH.

Instead of trying to empty your Gmail Trash bin...go instead to this ALL TRASH bin and use our old method of Select All. Delete button shows up at bottom. Select.

Messaging:

Why is it that when I wish to text a contact for which I have a smartphone# and email address in the contact info that messaging defaults to an email address? Who the heck texts to an email address? How can I fix this. Happened after 13 was installed and the recent fixes have not addressed it. What am I doing incorrectly?

New iOS update 13 - can’t delete “trash” Folder

I just Updated to iOS 13.1.2. When I go To my trash folder in my email and want to delete all the trash, there is no “Delete” button when I click “Select all.”

When I flick “Edit” and then click on each email in the trash individually, my options along the bottom are “Move” “Mark” or “Delete”. The problem is that i have 400+ emails in my trash folder and don’t want to have to click on each one individually.

If I click “Edit” and then “Select All,” my options across the bottom are “Move” “Mark” or “Archive”. The “Delete” button doesn’t show up when I “Select All”. He Delete option is only there if I click On each email individually.

What is the issue??

thank you!

On iPads, iPhones etc... open Mail app.... Tap Edit on top right and Select ALL TRASH button so it shows up in your ALL MAIL section. Done.

Now always delete your gmail trash by using the ALL TRASH button...Delete shows up as an option.

I heard the same answer from someone a few months ago. The person wrote back a few weeks ago saying yes the steps work as as outlined allowed them to delete items in both “Junk” and “Trash” folders. In weeks between the person stewed on the process, finally realizing a step was skipped or mistyped.

Hint: before I tried I copied/printed the steps to paper, then followed the outline step by step exactly as written. It worked, much to my initial skepticism. I, too, missed a step the first try. I had five email accounts and 2000 emails; I had to make it works.

I followed the advice from keg55 and it worked with one addition: I had to restart my iPad. Now I have the select all and delete/delete all options available to me! Thanks to the great advice from keg55.

I hit edit, select all, then delete. The emails just sit there in the trash folder. I would think something as routine as deleting would be something Apple could actually fix. I’m on the current version of iOS, and have done every step here. Let’s just say that iOS 13 is easily the most buggy version

I have a problem getting rid of my emails in my gmail. I say a reply to same problem saying to go into passwords and accounts and click on gmail account. Mine doesn’t show gmail. Also, I don’t see any advanced. This is frustrating. My all mail folder continues to grow. What’s the solution.

Doing this deleted moved everything in my Inbox to my Trash bin. If you then delete your entire trash bin you lose all of your emails. This is not a good solution. I need a fix just to be able to empty my trash bin, not delete my entire Inbox.

I can not delete from trash to delete on iOS 13.2.1 , how do we correct this

I am having the exact same issue. Approaching 1,000 messages that need deleted from “trash”!

In trash select all then on left push

mark and send it to Junk folder

No the problem is we can’t clear the trash

That fixed the problem, thank you!
