I'm not sure [I don't use local mailboxes much].  I'd first wonder if
"deleted messages" has any meaning for a local mailbox of it that is
only implmented / supported / understood for IMAP [or other
remote-store] mailboxes.  

It seems reasonable for it not to be supported - there are no "deleted
messages" for a local mailbox; a local mailbox just contains the
messages it contains.  I could be wrong.
