Unable To Clear Trash From Email

How can I clear the "mail and attachments" data in mail on my iPhone and iPad?

Thanks for the A2ALiterally thanks for asking the question and making my vision towards this problem.Before you asked the Question I also had around 262mb of mail data though nothing was their on my iCloud mail (as checked by the iCloud.com). I was on the topic for about 25mins or so and with a Will of Al-Mighty I found out the solution.Simply go to iCloud settings on your iPhone and turn on the “Mail” option. Open the “Mail” app and refresh it. Now go to “Settings” scroll down and tap on “Mail” and turn off all options. Click on “Accounts” on the top, select “Fetch New Data”. Now turn on “Push”, below it tap on “iCloud” and tap on “Push”.Go to “Mail” app and delete all visible mails from every folder. After that wait for few minutes and turn back off all the settings. At last go to your iCloud storage option and check the email data. It will be gone. Believe me this worked.

If you delete an email, will the recipient not be able to see it anymore?

No, unfortunately the person on the receiving end of an email from your deleted account will be able to see the email IF it was sent successfully. Reason behind that is simply because the email would already be on the recipient's server and once it makes it that far it's basically out of your hands and in whomever's inbox. The only thing deleting your email account will do in your case would be that the receiptient will NOT be able to reply to your email because your email address wouldn't exist anymore for a reply to be received.**if you're trying to figure out some way to get out of an embarrassing or accidentally sent email, you can always say your "account was hacked" (#1 excuse for everyone's email and social media account fails) **

I have over 18,000 emails on Gmail. How do I delete them all at once?

I needed to update this post to add 1 extra step because Google added an additional piece of verification to this process.
