Hi,
As mariolands said, there is no trash bin because Apple wants to make the device as simple as possible for users to use. Actually, if you think about it, a trash/recycle bin is not even necessary as the user does not need to worry about things like that.
If you were wondering how to remove apps, then you have to hold any app icon on the home screen for several seconds until they start wiggling. As they begin to wiggle, you should see a cross in the top corner of each app. To delete an app, just tap on the "x" and it should be deleted.
As for the mail, once you're in the mail app, just swipe right on the message you want to delete and an option to delete will appear on the right. Alternatively, you can tap Edit at the top right and select the message(s) you want to delete.
Hope this helps, -virjog

There's no trash bin on iPad. If you deleted some photos on your device, you can check the "Recently deleted" folder. The pics you deleted are stored there for 30 days. If you have always backed up your iPad, you can also try to recover lost files from iTunes or iCloud backup. Here's a guide to show you what to do.

How to empty the trash can on iPad

- there is NO trash can on any iPad.
however you can empty some hidden cache etc. and free space by making a hard shut-off.
To turn off your iPad, first press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top-right corner of your iPad. After a few seconds, the red "slide to power off" slider will appear. Simply swipe it to the right and your iPad will power off.
-wait about 20seconds (until the dim-lighted spinning wheel disappears) and turn it on again

Apple ipad user guide

No, there's no trash bin per se. If you have a backup, you could restore it from that. If not, then maybe try recovery software like this. No idea if it works or not, though. http://www.wondershare.net/data-recovery/iphone-data-recovery.html?ici=index1

How can i view the trash folder on ipad 1?

There is no trash folder on iPads, but you may be able to view the trash folder for the deleted email.

For instance if you use Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail, you could log into the web version of those services and check the trash bin and recover from there.

Hope that helps!

How to empty trash on ipad

When you hold down on the app icon and it shakes with a little x in the left corner, that deletes an app. Once an item is deleted that is it. There is no trash can like on a mac.

Can't delete emails from trash

Hello sir !

Empty Trash Can


In 1982, when Apple created the Apple Lisa user interface, they implemented what they called the Trash Can. The trash can is essentially purgatory for files a user no longer wants. Once sent to the trash, the user has the option of restoring the file back to its original place, or annihilating it completely from the computer’s hard drive. Unless there is a backup of a user’s system from before the file was sent to the trash, there is essentially no way of restoring that file once the trash has been emptied.
This metaphor was carried over to Windows 95 in the form of a Recycle Bin. Perched on the desktop of countless millions of averages users was this bin which, when empty, looked empty, and when it contained files, looked full.
There is safety in the Trash Can metaphor. I know that in order to really delete a file from my system, either on Windows or on Mac OS X, I really have to work at it. Yes, there are times when files are accidentally deleted, but for the most part if I realize my mistake before I empty my Trash, I know the file is safe.
