The trash can icon is gone in iphone mail

I had to delete and re-add my gmail account to the iphone. Now, the trashcan icon is gone and I need to click like 4 different things to move it to "trash".


I saw a post that told me to go to "Settings" - Passwords and Accounts.


I don't see a section called "Passwords and Accounts"?


How do I get that trash can icon back so that it shows at the bottom of an open email?

Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts. Click the email you want to change, then click account. Click advanced. Under "move discarded messages into:", make sure "deleted mailbox" is checked off

This is what I see under advanced settings, I don't see "expunge".
