Galaxy S8 - Recycle Bin

[Tlew]

  I have a (somewhat old)  Galaxy S8, and I am not able to permanently delete emails from the recycle bin.

• When I delete ' ALL ', the emails appear to get deleted  but they all re-appear several seconds later .

  Can anyone help here ?

  Thanx !

Hi Tlew,

Please try to clear the cache and force stop the email app and check.

Follow the below steps to clear the cache of the App:
Open Settings >> Apps >> Select email app >> Storage >> Clear cache. 
To force stop the app: Open Settings >> Apps >> Select email app >> Storage >> Force Stop.
Note: Do not Clear the data. Clearing the data will reset the app to factory default settings. Any personal settings saved on the app will be removed.

Sorry, but I don't see " stotage "

[Tlew]

Whoops ! ...
that should be " Storage " under settings. (I'm not a very good at this type of thing)

just long press on your email icon and press "app info". you will see your storage option
