http://mzl.la/1ApHx1w has been read & tried. 

I can not get Trash folder to work either I've tried the 'recreate Trash' as described in the link above using - Win7+Gmail+Tbird ver45.2

Detail .... when I delete mail it disappears but does not get moved to Trash (shown as 'Deleted') I was merrily thinking all was well but in reality mail was piling up in Gmail's 'All Mail' & I didn't realise until the 15GB (!) limit was approached ! the only way I regained control was by progressive bulk deletions from the Gmail Web interface. (ugh)

I also tried sending deletion to another folder in 'account settings' but the change didn't stay put BTW there is not waste bin icon on the 'new' deleted folder that has been created by following the process in http://mzl.la/1ApHx1w Please advise - what to try next?

HI thanks to 'Zenos' for the advice. 

the "the Folder Flags add-on" seems to have allowed me to fix the issue. The only mystery is how it got into the state in the 1st place.

I'm a bit surprised at that advice to just create a new folder; Trash folders have some special characteristics which a user-created folder wouldn't have.

In an IMAP-connected account, I'd start by checking that it was subscribed. Right-click the account to see an option for subscriptions. Make sure google's trash folder is selected - that is if it appears there. If it doesn't, I'd suspect that the account's settings are awry. Being an IMAP account, your messages are on the server and you can safely remove the account from Thunderbird and configure it again to get a clean start with default settings.

If I'd lost a Trash folder and wanted to manually create a replacement, I'd use the Folder Flags add-on to set it as a Trash/Deleted/Bin folder.

I don't think the absence or presence of a Trash folder has much effect on your usage of your quota. Deleted messages all go into All Mail anyway, unless you are quite persistent and keep deleting them, perhaps using the shift key.
