You use gmail I suppose. This will explain how you can change that in your settings to go from archive to delete.

When you archive a message, it moves to the All Mail folder. It does not delete the message from the Gmail account. You can learn more about the Gmail archive feature in Gmail Help. Archive replaces all delete options when you use a Gmail account, including tapping the Trash icon while you view a message and selecting Edit to manage multiple messages.
You can disable this feature in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Gmail Account > Account > Advanced > Move Discarded Messages Into:

I am using gmail and your instructions worked. I'm new to Apple and iPad and am learning on the fly. Thank you very much.
You are quite welcome. I hope that you are enjoying your iPad.
I had thousands of emails on my Ipad and could not multi delete. Then the answer was to go on laptop and in seconds multi deleted all emails, then hey presto, Ipad clear. Great.
