iOS 4.2 changed Gmail 'Delete' to 'Archive' (pic)

How do I change it back to [Delete]? I've looked into every option/setting in both ends but to no avail.

I think this changed to Archive in 4.0 and tapping that button does the same thing as it did when it said Delete.

Are you sure? I think it actually 'archives' emails rather than 'deleting' them.

Pretty sure. At least it does what it always has for my GMail account.

You can change back to "Delete" on iOS Settings

Settings > Mail, Contact, Calendars > GMail Account > Archive Message "OFF"

Gmail's IMAP implementation is really weird. If I tap the garbage icon in a message, it will archive the message, not delete it. If I swipe to delete, and confirm, it will archive the message not delete it. I think that's why Apple changed it to archive instead of delete. MobileMe is much better in this respect, it just works.
