Are seeing a dialog withe title "compact"?
1. It doesn't delete messages that you see in trash. 2. You can use the checkbox in that dialog so that it stops prompting you - the prompt is just a courtesy. Is the checkbox confusing?

In Version 78*: Menu app icon > Options > General Scroll down to 'Network & Disc Space' section under 'Disk Space'
Do you have this selected: 'compact all folders when it will save over xxmb' ? If yes, uncheck that option restart Thunderbird.
I suggest you also compact your folders to clean them up. This is particulary important for : Inbox, Junk, Drafts as these folders get the most activity for moving anfd deleting emails.
Right click on folder in Folder Pane and select 'Compact'.
