Samsung S5 Gmail Deletion Problems

Just picked up an S5, all is good except that deleted emails from Gmail keep reappearing on my device. I have gone into email settings and can't find where the "delete emails from Server" choice is. This is driving me nuts. PS moved from an S4 and was not having this problem.
 
Go to your gmail account online and under settings click the forwarding tab and in there set so it deletes from the server. Mary
 
Maybe I have it wrong but go to www.gmail.com and log in. Then over on the right click the gear icon and under the forwarding tab for pop/Imap isin't that the settings you need? I know the email I use the settings to keep it on the server or not I have to set it right from my server not within the email app. Mary
 
If you are using pop then use no 2 in the pop settings and pick from the drop down what you want to do you want to delete gmail's copy so it doesn't stay on the server and if you are using Imap in the second section you want the first one that says immediately update the server meaning immediately delete from the server. Hope that is clear enough so you understand it. Mary
 
Hi, I don't know if you have tried this, go to "Settings", "Accounts", "email", "Settings", select your Gmail account, for this to work it must be set as the default account, at the bottom of the page select "More settings", then "Incoming settings", at the bottom there is a drop down box where you can select what happens with the emails.
