delete email trash folder?

Am I missing something? I have 9000 + emails in my trash folder.
I would like to "delete all".

There is an option under "more" to "delete all". But when I press it....i get the spinning circle....and nothing gets deleted.

The only way I can see to delete the trash is to select each individual message then hit "delete".

Is this the ONLY way?
