Junk mail
I want to delete my junk mail just once instead of it moving to trash then having to delete it again. There are times I don’t want to completely delete the trash can. Has anyone found a workaround?

I see what you're saying, that sounds annoying. First, is there a reason you have to delete your entire trash can? Are you using an iCloud email account, or a different service such as Gmail? I have both running on my Mail app. When I delete a junk email, it does go to the corresponding trashcan for that account. Then I can just go into that Trash can and delete individual emails one by one including those junk mails.
Unless you're saying it somehow goes into trashcan on you desktop. Even then there's a way to delete items individually, by right clicking (Control + left click) on one item and selecting Delete Immediately from the context menu.
I know it's tedious, but as far as I know there's no way to just one-step delete junk mail. There is however a setting in Mail Preferences > Junk Mail > Junk Mail Behaviors > Perform Custom Actions. -Turn that selector on, and then click the Advanced… button to configure what you want to have happen. In the Perform the Following Actions area, there's an option to straight out delete the email. That would at least remove one layer of task, but you may not get to review it's contents first if you're worried about some email accidentally marked as junk.
I'll attach some screenshots.
