Comment:

 Hello @Mista-Flo - thanks for the ping and the bug report.

 I attempted to reproduce this and was unable to.

 Here is what I tried (I am testing against trunk):

 * Empty database and create a new post.
 * Publish post, make some changes to trigger an autosave and exit the post
 exit screen.

 At this point I have three records in the database post table: one for the
 post itself, one for a revision created of the initial save, and one
 autosave

 The I opened wp-cli shell and issued the commands from the ticket
 description:
 `$autosave = wp_get_post_autosave( [post id] );`
 `wp_trash_post($autosave->ID);`

 Checking the database I see that the autosave record was removed:

 I tried again with the ID of one of the revisions and again the record was
 correctly deleted:

 Perhaps I have missed some step to reproduce? What version of WordPress
 are you using when you see this issue?

 Can you please try again on your end first disabling all plugins and also
 switching to a default theme like twentynineteen if possible to eliminate
 the possibility that a plugin or theme code is affecting autosaves.
