Gmail suddenly stopped deleting mail from iCloud.

I have been using Gmail on my Pixel with an app-specific password to access my icloud email for years. Suddenly this weekend it stopped deleting emails-- I'll delete them on the app and five minutes later it fetches them again. I've tried generating a new app-specific password. I have not made any major changes to my phone this week and have not touched the ingoing or outgoing server settings. How do I get it to sync again so I don't have to log on to my browser to delete email?

Login to you icloud account on the web and check to see if there is a Trash folder (folder icon ) separate from the normal trash folder (trashcan icon). I deleted the trash folder (icon) and everything in it. Then I deleted everything in the trash(can icon).

That seems to have fixed my same issue.
