This clip from an internet post explains it better than I can.

I am now using care when clearing all the trash from my email. And because of my naivete on the subject, I have a lot of trash.

My intention in this post is to help others. If it's not helpful, I will be able to tell by the responses and will take it down.

If anyone finds it helpful, or has other advice, I am grateful.
