I am new to Upwork. I applied to a company called **Edited for Community Guidelines** and a **Edited for Community Guidelines** who wanted me to email my ID. Then he requested to give a ID.me access with my log in info for trust purposes, Is this legit?

no, of course it's not legit. Do not give your ID, and especially not your login information, to anyone! Go through the Upwork Academy materials and learn everything about how to use Upwork, before you make any more mistakes.

Thank you! All the messages we exchanged through upwork has been removed and the job is no longer on upwork. How is that possible? They probably saw I am asking questions on here and removed the job? Would they have access to resumes through upwork?

It was removed because they probably sent a bunch of messages to freelancers - not just you - and somebody else realised that they're a scammer and reported them. As for having access to your resume, they would only have access if you gave them access, and this would only be a problem if your resume contains contact information, which would be against the rules for you to provide.
