Delete All option missing in iOS 7

I am trying to "Delete All" SMS to free up space and improve my iphone4 performance . The option is missing in ios 7.1.2 .
Though still one can select by user/search by set of messages and "Delete All"conversation , a blanket "Delete All" SMS is missing in ios 7 .
I remember it being available with older OS versions .Can someone respond if this option is available ? or if not , is Apple trying to re(institute) part of the next OS update  ? Any help on this is appreciated .

As far as I can remember from my 3GS days to now my 5S there was never an option to delete all in SMS - or one that I can recollect.
You'll have to delete each message thread one by one.
I'm glad there is no option to delete all message - otherwise we would have a bunch of threads about accidentally delete all message how do I get it back, then blaming Apple for a oversight or flaw.

  • How can I empty my trash email. There is no delete or delete all option after the emails are highlighted from the edit option. This is on an i phone 4 running on ios 7.1.2

    How can I empty my trash email. There is no delete or delete all option after the emails are highlighted from the edit option. This is on an i phone 4 running on ios 7.1.2

    I have 7 email accounts on my phone. If I tap EDIT while viewing the Trash folder in any of them I see "Mark All" on the left and "Delete All" on the right. If you tap any message, however, the legends go away.

  • No "delete all" option for texts on 5800 Xpress Mu...

    Am I just blind, i thought this was standard on all phones (all the ones i've had before have had it).  I have to delete each text and message one by one which is tedious at best, is there a delete all option for the inbox/outbox that i'm just missing somewhere?
    Cheers.

    this is simple all you do is select mark all in options menu and then delete.

  • When is there going to be a select all/delete all option in email? I need to search for certain emails and delet them from my phone but not my email program (Outlook)

    when will there be a select all/delete all option in Emails? I have a large number of emails that come to my phone which i dont want to delete from my outlook mail account (On my PC). However, i want to be able to search, select all and delete these emails from my phone? I do not use ICloud either as it causes issues with my calendars at work.
    These features should be a standard as there are plenty of other users out there that are trying to do the same thing and as yet there has been no progress? The email on the iphone is one of the biggest downfalls of the phone, blackberry and android handle them much better, but i dont have an option with my phone at work. Please help??

    No one here would have any idea when or if such a feature would be introduced until and unless Apple announces it.

  • I have Iphone 5 and have an issue with deleting part of the messages in Imessage conversation. The trash button is not displayed to delete part of the imessage. I see only delete all option. Is it a bug?

    Hi An Iphone user,
    If you are having issues deleting a specific message from an iMessage conversation (not seeing the Trash icon), you may want to double-check that you are following the steps outlined in the following article:
    How do I delete a message?
    To delete a message, tap and hold the message bubble, then tap More.
    Tap Delete All to delete all the messages. Or tap to select the messages you want to delete, then tap .
    After you delete a message, you can recover it only by restoring from a backup.
    Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • Deleting all images from iPhone (ios 6.1.4)

    I am currently trying to delete all the images from my phone to clear space for other applications.
    (Transferring them to my computer was an excruciating process and actually forced me to purchase an external program, but I digress.)
    I can't delete photos at all in the iPhone photos app. Going edit > select photo > delete causes the Photos app to crash every time. This happens whether I have selected one or more than one photos. I have restarted the app (double tap home button and delete the app from the fold-up menu) several times, but the problem recurs when I try again. In any case, I have over 37,000 photos so this would be a horribly inefficient way to do it.
    Key things to note
    1) I only have Windows 7 on my PC. Therefore, I cannot use any mac related programs like iPhoto to mass delete images.
    2) Windows explorer is unable to consistently recognize my iPhone. I have gone into device manager many times and reinstalled the driver, and attempted other fixes I found off of Google, but alas for past several months I have not been able to get it to recognize the iPhone as a camera or as anything at all. As of recent weeks, the iPhone does not even show up in the list of external devices plugged into the computer regardless of driver reinstallation, and only my external HDD appears.
    3) Back in the past when the Autoplay window did show up, there was never an option to import pictures and videos- furthermore, selecting the sole 'open device to view files' simply showed me a series of blank folders in my iPhone.
    At that time, I already had had my settings set to show hidden files and folders, so I was mystified that windows explorer insisted no files were present in the folders when there were quite obviously photos on my phone.
    I am unable to import photos using windows explorer. As such, this fix cannot be used: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    I am very disappointed at how nonfunctional the interaction between Windows and Apple devices has become. In the past, I was able to import pictures from my iphone 4S this same PC using windows explorer's autoplay popup, and it is sad that this is unsupported with the  iPhone 5.
    4) iTunes, which is on the same computer, does recognize the iPhone. I can sync perfectly fine.
    5) Very few of the images have been imported from my computer. Most of them were taken or saved on the phone itself, so removing sync of photos from the sync process doesn't do anything.
    6) There are no photos on Photo Stream or Photo Library, because I only recently found out about these features (1-2 days ago researching solutions). All 37,000+ photos are in Camera roll. This means that I cannot turn off Photo stream and have the pictures disappear like in this fix. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5099543?start=0&tstart=0
    Given all of this information and my limitation in options, how do I delete all of the images on my phone efficiently?

    Incidentally, restoring the phone to factory settings is not a viable solution because I have a lot of apps, notes and other material which I do not wish to lose and would not be stored in a backup.

  • Deleting all or missed calls

    Is there a way or setting to delete one without deleteing the other? I have gone to RECENTS hit ALL and hit clear and it also clears all MISSED calls and vice versa. This is very frustrating. If anyone knows of a solution this would be great.

    Unfortunately there is no way of deleting a single call from the all or missed call list.
    And by the way, this is not a delete, this is a clear and those calls are no longer retrievable.
    I suggest that you make an entry of your request into the feedback site provided by Apple.

  • Delete all option for deleted programmes

    Hi,  Does anybody know if there's a way to "delete all" from the deleted programme's menu?It would be far easier than having to delete every programme individually from the last 18 months (2tb box)Thanks

    Hi, Just came across your post here, I've only just encountered the very same thing. Seemed a good idea at first to have a backup of deleted programs, but yes, you are so right, trying to free up space or, as in my case, following the recommendation from Sky to permanently remove all deleted content in an effort to rectify a glitchy planner, yeah right! This will take an age!The only current way around this, and it is only to be used as a last measure, is to perform a complete system re-set! But remember, doing so will delete EVERYTHING and basically you end up with the box as it was from new! Then you simply start again with setting your reminders and favourites etc.  If anyone goes down this route, just try and get in the habit of EVERYTIME you delete something, go straight into the deleted tab on your box and permanently delete it from there, now you will never end up with such a list to have to delete individually again!I know that this is an extreme measure to take to accomplish what should be much quicker, but until Sky release an update to the Sky options that would enable a multi delete option, this is about as good as it gets, otherwise be prepared for a very long spell of sitting there button pushing. All the best.

  • Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone?

    Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone? IOS 7.1. Every other phone in the market allows you to 'select all' then delete.
    This trick of selecting one, then holding move, then unchecking (and subsequently moving all the emails to trash) doesn't work. I've read these suggestions and while it appears to work the emails just show up again once you leave and return to the inbox. Perhaps it worked on an older version of IOS.
    It blows my mind this is not a standard function. I get a few hundred emails at work every day, and most of the time I just want to delete all of them from the phone as I've read them already. Currently it seems i can only click edit and then have to check each email individually to be able to delete them at the same time; this is the definition of tedious. I would think there are millions of other iphone users who get their company email on their phones that must experience the same thing. It seems now i either spend 20 minutes a day deleting emails, or just let thousands of emails accumulate on the phone (taking up space and also making it hard to just review the most recent emails which is all I want to be able to do when checking email on my phone).
    I am hoping I am just missing some simple solution here that everyone else uses. Please help!!

    Only Apple could answer as to why there is no "select all/"delete all" function in the iOS mail app. Users have been bemoaning this lack of functionality for years now. Like everyone else, you can submit feedback to. Apple here.
    Apple - iPhone - Feedback
    While I understand the whole idea of being able to use the phone on the run, if you have an IMAP email account, and if you have access to a computer at work during the day, use your "select all" function on the server and delete all of the unwanted email there and it will be removed from the phone as well.
    That doesn't solve the problem on the phone, but it gets rid of the email which is your ultimate goal anyway.

  • How can I delete all of my photos at once?

    I need more space on my iPhone (5, recently upgraded to iOS 8), so I need to delete all of my photos (which my Mac says have all been uploaded to iPhoto). When I try to use the "delete all" option in iPhoto, nothing actually happens.
    Thanks!

    I'm afraid there is no way to mass delete your emails. You will have to do to from a web browser.
    The only way to do it it if you have a Jailbroken phone.
    Sorry, but you just have to delete them slowly :(
    Hope this helps
    Thanks

  • How do you "delete all" email on iPhone 4S?

    There is no delete all option, unless you want to remove the email account, but I doubt that is what you are seeking.

  • How do I delete ALL emails on Droid Turbo (pop3)?

    I have a Droid Turbo, and love it. But I cannot figure out how to mass delete (all) emails from the phone. I use Pop3 to my email.
    I know you can swipe individual emails to delete or press and hold on an email to select, then do the same individually to many and then delete, but I cannot find a "delete all" option like my previous Droid Maxx. Because I haven't been able to keep up with it, I have over 999 emails sitting in there with no way at the moment to delete them all unless I spend a few hours deleting each one, one by one.
    Any help here?
    Thanks.

    That is extremely disappointing. If I delete the account from my phone, will it delete all the messages that way? I might have to find a way to delete and re-add the mail into the phone as the current amount of messages is a large bloat to the phone.
    Also, where do I suggest this "delete all" be added to the phone? This was on the Droid Maxx and previous versions. It is odd they would remove an option that could cause extreme bloat.

  • Image capture deleted all my photos from iPhone without transferring them to the harddisk. So now I've lost 427 photos due to some data error it says. Please help me get my pictures back!?!

    I just wanted to back up my photos since I haven't done so since October 5th. I plugged in my iPhone and let Image Capture transfer the selected photos to the designated folder. Accidently I hit 'Import All but that's not the biggest problem. Apparently I had "Delete all after transfer" on AND 427 photos apparently "failed to transfer" as it said. I didn't think it was such a big problem, but then I noticed : what the ****.The delete all option was ON and now ALL my photos are gone, from the iPhone and NOT on the computer. Except a list of some old pictures I already have three backups and from the new ones between Oct 5 and this day I have a random selection >><!!!
    So please help me! How do I get my pictures back? iPhone Data recovery? Please please help. There are so many nice memories of this month and I'm so ****** that this just happened!

    If you have iCloud backup turned on or if you have recently backed up via iTunes you could restore the phone from either of those sources. Camera Roll photos are included in those backups. Be aware that doing a restore will replace the contents of the phone with the contents of the backup so you would lose anything new on the phone since the last backup. Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

  • Delete all notes and highlights at once

    Hi community,  I have a PRS-600 reader and I cannot delete all notes and highlights being accumulated from all books I have read so far.  I read the whole users manual, and there is no "delete all" option.  Thanks a lot for your help,

    Thanks a lot for your answer...
    When I tap my ebook options list, there is no "delete notes" option displayed anywhere.  I see that ebook gathers drawings, highlights, and bookmarks altogether into the same "notes" category, then...  I wonder why "delete notes" does not appear for me to choose it from the list of options displayed?
    About this tip you gave me: "To delete the highlight, press the OPTIONS button, then tap “Create/Edit Notes” → [Eraser] on the tool bar. Then, tap or stroke a part of the highlighted word(s)."   I have used this procedure when erasing one or very few highlights while I am making them, but when there are several that have been accumulating from all the books read during a period of time... Does this means that I have to "erase" each of the highlights and drawings one by one?  
    What about the bookmarks?   Do I have to double-tap each folded corner one by one also?
    Thanks again for your help,

  • Delete All in Mail

    Is there a "Delete all" option in iPhone's Mail App?? Because I'm tired of selecting emails one by one then delete them.

    No. Once they are in the trash folder, then you can delete all. You can suggest Apple add that feature here:
