Mail deleted from main Inbox is still in All Mail

Using Gmail in the IOS mail app. When deleting mail from the main Inbox I use the trash can icon to delete mail. When I go into “All Mail” the email I deleted from the main Inbox is still there. Why?

Google has always treated email in that way, just one location to dump all of your mail, Gmail doesn't actually use folders. Once you delete a message, it's moved to the "Trash folder" and deleted when the message reaches 30 days. Google does the same thing for Spam.


If you want the email gone immediately, just delete the message in the "All Mail" folder and it is gone from your devices forever everywhere.
