$postid

(int) Post ID.

$post

(WP_Post) Post object.

More Information

It’s important to note the hook runs only when the WordPress user empties the Trash. If you’re using this hook note that it will not fire if the user is deleting an Attachment, since attachments are force deleted, i.e., not sent to the Trash. Instead use the delete_post() hook.
