You cannot change the icon - but you can change your email account settings such that deleted email is moved to Trash/Bin instead of the Archive folder.


Assuming that you have iOS/iPadOS14 installed:

Settings > Mail > Accounts > [Your email account] > [Account] > Advanced > [Move Discarded Messages Into] Deleted Mailbox
