Can't delete a text message

I'm having problem deleting a text that was part of a chain that I had deleted.  Every time I receive or write a text, this old one shows up.  Employees at my local store think I need to re-image my phone.  Anyone else have this happen?

We can understand the worry of losing items. Make sure that you back everything up. You should be good to go. If you have any problems here are the steps you will need http://vz.to/1fD1w2F Please keep us posted.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

  • Can someone tell me how to delete a number which is stored in my messages list even though i have deleted the text message itself?

    Hi.  Can anyone help me? I am trying to delete a phone number which appears in my Messages list even though i have deleted the text message content it came from.

    Try logging into your Yahoo account from a computer, search out the contact you are trying to delete and manually correct or delete the bad contact.
    The bad information might be hidden as a second address or other contact information (or misspelled) and not be showing up on the iphone but will pull up the address anyway.
    I had one old address in a contact that kept pulling up each time i tried to email him. The new address was there, but the old address was what the phone kept showing. When I edited the contact info from my computer the old address went away, and the new address started poping up.

    what can i do when i want to restore if i have deleted my text message(sms)...
    please help

    Provided you have recently synced you phone then the SMS are stored in the iPhone backup made by iTunes during the sync process. If you restore you can choose to restore from backup which should mean that you don't lose the SMS.

  • How can I edit a text message feed

    I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.4 and I can't edit my text message feed.  How can I do that?

    You can only delete messages frmo a text-message conversation - not edit them . Under iOS 7, you'd need to long-tap on a single message then tap "More...". You will now be able to select multiple messages in a thread and delete them.

    I deleted a text message by mistake.  How do I retrieve and restore the messages?

    If you backed up after getting the message and before deleting it you can restore your phone and the message will be back. If not then it is gone forever.

  • Verizon deleted my text messages! Help!

    I woke up one day and all of my texts were gone.  Help!  Who or how can I restore them?

    Verizon doesn't have the ability to delete your text messages. There is no way of getting them back.

    Help! I have an iPhone 4s, I accidentally deleted a text message and my phone is not synced. How do I retrieve it?

    You can not retrieve a deleted message that was not synced.
    There are data recovery services that "may" be able to retrieve the message.
    These recovery services can cost $1000 or more though.

  • Can't receive normal text messages after updating to iOS5, only iMessages

    Over the summer I bought iOS5 from a developer and had it on my phone for about a month until it crashed and I had to restore from a backup. So I put iOS5 back on my phone, and it crashed it again. I decided to wait until yesterday to put it back on, because it was legit and through Apple. Now I can't receive normal text messages from non-iPhone users. I'm only receiving iMessages. The only way to fix it is to turn off iMessage, but that's one of the main features of the update. Help?

    i may put my iphone in the toaster tonight i am so $%#@!*^ frustrated.
    i have an iphone 4 which i upgraded to ios5 about 4 days ago. yesterday, i realized i wasn't able to receive any text messages, but was (and am still getting imessages), along with the ever-so-vague 'sms mailbox is full, delete some text messages' alert.
    so i came to the internet to find out about the supposed 15mb (75k*) limit. Apple's solution on their own site was 'hey, crazy hoarder, why don't you delete some texts?? there you go, EASY PEAZY!' except that didn't work...for me, and a ton of other people apparently.
    i came down from 76something to around 67k.
    I hard restarted, i ignored it, i deleted more texts, i bought phoneview, i deleted MORE texts, more restarts, NOTHING. it has now been 48 hours with no texts. NEED I ASSURE YOU THAT I AM A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON (as we all are).
    so i backed up my phone (again, as i did before the upgrade), and restored it to factory nothingness. restart. restart. stare blankly. no texts.
    then, i go to restore from backup (via itunes) so i can at least get all my contacts and whatnot back. lo and behold, my backup is gone. only the option to set up my 'new' iphone. i delay utter panic for a brief second and silently pray to the angel steve, sitting upon his giant white icloud, remembering that i actually paid for extra icloud space and backed up to that as well.
    now i'm just waiting for it to restore AT LEAST my contacts, which it now seems to have done by the time i've typed this. PARTIAL crisis averted.
    alas, i STILL am not getting any text messages. it seems that calling apple does nothing since apparently no one was told about this and/or how to fix this. i cannot receive text messages from my boyfriend, my parents, my colleagues who all are iphoneless and better off than me at this point.
    i am leaving for a business trip in 12 hours. i'd like to figure this out before i put this thing in the garbage disposal or violently smash and use it's parts as confetti. although by the time i do, i will probably have lost all my friends and been disowned by my family for ignoring their jokes / emoticons / cries for help.
    i fear apple has become a sentient being, and this is it's way of forcing all people of earth to use iphones...for there will be no other way to communicate with each other once we evolve and are all born with giant thumbs instead of vocal chords...hold me im scared...
    it's so dark here...

  • Delete a text message in ios 7?

    I see that you can delete the text messages my touching one of the message 'bubbles' to bring up the 'More' menu and then pressing 'Delete All' in the top left corner of the screen.
    The problem I'm having is if someone texts me only a phone number (no other messaages on the screen), when you press on the message, it brings up a menu to work with that phone number (call it, add it to contacts, etc.) but the 'More' menu choice does not appear.
    How can I get the 'More' menu to appear in a situation like this so I can delete the message?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Thanks again.
    Yes, I do see how to pull up the 'More' button to delete.
    The problem I'm having is if someone texts me only a phone number or address, you can't get to the 'More' button when you hold on the message.  Instead, it's brings up a menu to work with the phone number or address.  No way to delete the message if it's the only message on the screen.
    It looks like it's something Apple overlooked in ios 7.
