Using anything other than the standard gmail interface (which is terrible for ease of use), you need to take special steps to actually view it. Items placed in your trash remain in the All Mail folder forever, which is why storage used continues to grow even when you clean up your trash. To completely remove items and reduce storage when using any of these apps, you need to unhide the folder, and then you need to delete from both your inbox and the "forever" folder.

I use outlook on my iphone and ipad to access my gmail. The top folder is “All Mail” … which consolidates all my mail accounts in one folder.
