Q: Difference Between Archive and Delete

When viewing email on my 4s and sliding my finger to the right to get a delete button, sometimes i get 'Archive' instead. Why is that? How do i just get the 'Delete' button and where do the archived items go?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1

This mostly explains it here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4207

You can turn it off, or when viewing your emails and choosing which mailbox to view, Inbox is the gmail inbox (with archive option), or All Mail (delete option).
