Deleted messages are stored in Recently Deleted for 30 days before they are automatically and permanently deleted.


If Recently Deleted does not display when you click Edit, there are no messages that have been deleted within the last 30 days.


In other words, everything that was in Recently Deleted more than 30 days ago was automatically and permanently deleted. Those messages are gone for good.
