Go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap on the account, tap on Account at the top of the next screen and then Advanced at the bottom of the popup, and change the 'Move Discarded Messages Into' to be 'Delete Mailbox' instead of 'Archive Mailbox' : Archive your Gmail messages - Apple Support.
