Question about deleted emails (emails being marked as deleted)

Hello,

Many email clients simply marks emails as deleted when moving them or 
deleting them ? Which makes a huge amount of "ghost" emails filling our 
server.

Is there a way with a simple script to delete all deleted emails let's 
say older than 30 days ?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help !
