Starting today,deleted emails are requiring a second confirmation... "Are you sure"

I delete hundreds of emails every day. Now you have added and extra step by having to answer again that I want to delete them. This is wasting huge amounts of my time. Please tell me how to stop  that 2 step process. I looked at all options offered and could not find a way to change it,

keneaise how do you normally access your email? Are you using a third-party app like Outlook or Safari, or are you using the Xfinity site?

FWIW, I just deleted a bunch of emails and did not get that question.  And then I deleted just one.  Still didn't get that question.

... extra step by having to answer again that I want to delete them ...

If you are getting "Do you want to permanently delete the email?" in Xfinity Connect webmail, check to see if

    (gear icon) / Email Settings / Mail / Behavior / Permanently remove deleted emails

is checked. If it is, you'll get that message, and deleted emails don't go to the "Trash" folder, they go directly to the hidden 30-day "Recover Deleted Items" folder. Clear the checkbox to change this behavior.
