Same here.  Once in a while I do a

notmuch search --format=text0 --output=files is:deleted | xargs -0r rm

, which deletes all emails marked as "deleted".  After the next
notmuch new they do not show up in the threads any more.  This
could be automated by a cron job or so, but it didn't bother me
enough to do so.

Ciao, Gregor
