What do you mean by this? Are you referring to what you see when you go to

Storage and iCloud Usage? That shows the amount of storage the
contents (messages, attachments, etc.) of the Mail app are taking up, not the app itself. The Mail app will take up the same amount of space whether or not you "delete" it. As explained in an earlier post, when you "delete" any of the stock iOS apps, you're not deleting them, just removing the icon from your home screen.
If you want to free up some of the space that is being used up by Mail, consider deleting messages from your mailboxes and emptying your Trash.
Personally, I have zero items in my iCloud email account yet my phone tells me that Mail is using up almost 5MB of space.
If you're stressing out over the handful of MB taken up by the Mail app, you really should look elsewhere to try and free up space; photos, videos, music and apps / games can take up waaaaaay more space compared to your emails.
