Mail app now has Archive rather than Trash

Suddenly when I swipe to the left on an email in the list view it says Archive. It has said Trash or Delete forever. How do I change it back?

If it is a gmail account that is the default. You have to change in using web access to gmail.


UPDATE: I just found another way:Go to Settings/Mail/Accounts, tap on the account, then “account” again at the top, then Advanced. Change MOVE DISCARDED MESSAGES INTO: and tap on Deleted Mailbox. Then back out to Account and tap Done.
