Hi Guys, there's a registry change I found which fixed for me:
If the user has at least author rights to the shared mailbox's Deleted Items folder, the deleted items can go into the shared mailbox's deleted items folder. You (or the administrator) need to add this key to the registry.
Outlook 2016 and Outlook 2019

I can't see this working however with OWA or o365 online
