OK, if you're using Gmail's web interface, when you delete a message it'll go to the Gmail/Trash folder. You won't have any other Trash folder unless you create it yourself. Nothing will go into a Trash folder you create yourself unless you move it there.
Most modern email clients know that this is how Gmail works, so when you create a Gmail account, anything you delete will be sent to the Gmail/Trash folder. Of course, you can still create your own Trash folder and move messages into it.
Some older email clients didn't use Gmail/Trash for their deleted messages, so if you didn't change this behavior then a Trash folder would be created and used by that particular email client. There may still be some email clients that behave this way. You could also go into various email clients and change what folder gets used for deleted messages.
You could also have a Trash folder on your local drive, which wouldn't be part of Gmail and may be associated with another account in your email client.
If it were me, I'd make note of the messages that show up in each Trash folder and which client you used to delete those messages. I would then check my configurations for the different email clients. I'd also check any rules I've created to automatically delete messages.
I only have a Gmail/Trash folder in my Gmail account and I don't see any other Trash folders in my Gmail account, regardless of which client I use. In the past, Thunderbird would create a Trash folder and use it, but this was only until I reconfigured it. Note Thunderbird doesn't do this any more.

Chris, Could you please explain that again? *smile* I have emails that I deleted from my inbox that went to the trash folder, and the same goes for the gmail trash folder.

This is the folder where you'll see the Drafts, Sent Mail and so on sub folders in addition to your Trash folder. Of course, you can create any folder you want, so it's possible that you or your email client created a Trash folder somewhere else. The only time I've seen a Trash folder created in the root of my Gmail server is when I configured my email client incorrectly. There was a time when Thunderbird didn't configure itself very well when using Gmail, so if you weren't careful how you configured Thunderbird, you might end up using the wrong Trash or Drafts folder. That isn't an issue any longer. BTW, what are you finding in these two different Trash folders?
