Just got "upgraded" to iOS 13.1.2 and found that I can no-longer empty the trash in email. WTH? I can move the messages, and I can archive them, but now I have to go to my laptop or desktop to delete them? I had just got past how awful iTunes 12 was.

If your email account is a Gmail account, follow these steps:
Go into Settings / Passwords & Accounts / Gmail account
Tap on the account (e.g. myname@gmail.com)
Tap on Advanced
Under Move Discarded Messages Into, tap on Deleted Mailbox
Tap on Account at the top left of screen
Tap on Done
Tap on Accounts
Close Settings
Close the Mail app if it was open
Reopen the Mail app and go to any of your Mailboxes, click Edit and then Select All and you should see at the bottom - Mark, Move, Trash (or Delete)
It's important to close out of Settings and the Mail app for the changes to take affect.
Thank you! (Don't suppose you know anything about iTunes on the iPhone as well - that was going to be my next post - why the song progress bar has been removed in list view when I'm in a playlist!?).
