Why Can’t I swipe Right to Delete iOS mail Anymore? I NEVER want to archive

Hi All,


i used to be able to swipe right to easily delete emails in iOS. Now, I’m only able to swipe right to archive. I can only delete by swiping left (which I don’t want to do I’m used to swiping left) plus swiping right makes me choose from 3 different options which is a pain. And when I go into advanced settings, delete isn’t even given as an option in the swipe options.


I’ve read all of these discussions and all of my options seem to be correct. I’ve attached pics so let me know if you see anything. Also, I’m able to swipe right in any other mail app including the native Gmail App. What’s going on? I literally would delete archive all together if possible.


Thanks!
