Delete Saved messages when messages are already deleted.

I deleted all conversations, but yet when you go to Settings, General, and then usage I still see 2.8Gb of "saved Messages" in memory used.  How?  Thanks for any help.

Apparently after more digging, I am not the only one with this issue.  There is NO WAY to delete these if you are restoring from past points.  The only way to do so is to start from scratch and loose everything or manually put in after deleting the back up.  This is nonsense on Apple's part. 
Firstly you DO NOT have to do a factory reset / wipe device, it is simply not required to get the space back!!
Mine had 3GB and I just got rid of it all, here is how:
METHOD ONE:
Make a backup in iTunes
open iBackupBot (Google it)
Go to the relevant backup
Click on Multimedia File Manager and click on the other Multimedia files tab
Sort by filename by clicking the Filename tab
Find MediaDomain/Library/SMS/Attachments and highlight all of them, then press delete.  You can also click to export to a folder of your choice, if you want to save them that is. 
Then go to System Files>MediaDomain>Library>SMS>Attachments
They will be all listed here, highlight them all and press delete
Then just restore that backup using iTunes! 
  Tadaa! Space recovered, your messages are still there but without the attachments!  METHOD TWO:
Backup your device in iTunes and then to iCloud
Go to Settings>iCloud and toggle Documents & Data to OFF
Then do a 2nd backup to iTunes and iCloud
Then restore the device from iCloud and the message attachments should be gone, turn Documents & Data back on again in the settings
PLEASE NOTE: Method two is a much longer process but some users may feel more comfortable with this method.
P.S You may want to make two backups in case you get any of the above steps wrong, but it is simple to follow the above and not do anything wrong!
P.P.S You could also just go through every single conversation and delete the attachments one by one, but if you have hundreds or thousands of attachments, this will take a VERY LONG TIME!!!

    When I open my mailbox the messages are already opened.

    This happened to me once. I keep my song files on an external hard drive - and forgot to turn it on. iTunes went looking for my music and couldn't find it.
    When this happens, you'll need to go into your preferences and set your "iTunes Music Folder" back to the the original setting (for me, on the external drive).

  • My saved messages are using a lot of memory.  How do I free up the memory?

    My saved imessages are using a lot of memory (3.1GB) on my iphone.  How can I free up the memory?

    This is when I go to "usage" and it lists all of the memory used by certain apps.  Messages is the largest, and I swipe to the left to open it and it says that "saved messages" are using all of it.  There is no option to do anything at this screen.

    Nokia 5130 mobile saved messages are not visble not but still show in memory details, my mobile just restrated and with i turn back it on my saved messsages were not visible please help on that

    Try to check the saved messages in the sim card. You may also try a power cycle by turning the phone off, removing the battery and pressing the power button without the battery for 8-10 seconds. You can also do a soft reset by pressing Menu > Settings > Rest. factory sett. > Restore settings only so that it will bring back the phone to its original state.

  • I cannot open a new tab. When I press the tab bar, sometimes it opens, but most of the times it won't. It is especially so when there are already 5 tabs opened

    I have a problem opening a new tab with FireFox 24.0.
    When I press the tab bar, sometimes it opens, but most of the times it won't. It is especially so when there are already 5 tabs opened.
    I use "checkCompatibility 1.3" and "Google Toolbar for FireFox 7.1.20110512W" as addons. There have been no problems until the previous version of FireFox.

    Thank you for the reply.
    It works fine with the safe mode. So it must be something to do with <i>checkCompatibility 1.3</i> or <i>Google Toolbar for FireFox 7.1.20110512W</i>.
    Both are necessary to run Google Toolbar on Firefox, and the fact is Google Toolbar is too convenient to be removed. So I have bookmarked a couple of blank pages and I right-click them to open new tabs. But it is so tiresome.
    I hope this problem will be fixed in the next version. FireFox without Google Toolbar is just a useless browser.

    See docs "Close Sales Order Headers With No Associated Open Lines, Order Header Workflows Or Order Line Workflows [ID 397565.1]" and "Order Management Suite - Some Datafix Patches and Scripts [ID 398822.1]". They might help. I currently have an SR in on the same situation, although I do not get the same error message you get.
    Hope this helps,

  • Many of my saved messages are now blank or have encoding with no normal text message in them. I had not changed any setting, so I don't know how to make content

    Message which had previously been open and had text in them no longer have text. Just a blank screen. Some others just have code and no original text. How can I restore these to be able to read the message again?

    To try an fix the corruption, right click the problem folder, select Properties and then Repair Folder.
    Depending on how bad the corruption is be prepared to lose some or all of the problem messages.
    For the future do better folder maintenance to prevent the problem.

  • Images become very compressed and grainy even when they are already compres

    Hi Everyone,
    This is my first time to the forum, Ive had a look here and around the internet but I havnt been able to find the solution.
    Below is a link to an image showing what I mean.
    http://s750.photobucket.com/albums/xx141/SRangott/?action=view&current=DVDGrab.p ng
    The image on the left is the finished dvd playing back. The image in the middle is a video file that is compressed through compressor using the highest quality setting and finally on the right is the original image.
    Ive tried setting up the pictures multiple ways. Originally I setup a slideshow, when I got the problem I tried converting the picture over to the correct aspect ratio in photoshop to no avail.
    I then tried recreating the slideshow in FCP and exporting again through compressor and exporting a uncompressed file for dvd studio to convert. Neither of these solutions improved the quality at all.
    Next I tried exporting the pictures through Adobe Premiere Pro cs4. This time I had more luck, there was almost no grain but it was incredibly soft and out of focus.
    Now my thoughts at this stage are that the image just doesnt lend itself to compression at all with the dark areas. The image was originally compressed a bit and I got the original file from the slr camera. Its resolution is 2000x3000 at 3.5mg. No difference at all between the small and large file either.
    Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated, im about ready to pull my hair out.
    Steve

    RGB is not a color space, it's a color model. Color spaces are sRGB, Adobe RGB, ProPhoto RGB etc.
    Since you're apparently not familiar with these concepts, you should work consistently in sRGB, which displays roughly right in all scenarios even in the absence of color management.
    The default color space out of Lightroom (if you haven't changed it) is ProPhoto, which can quickly get you into trouble unless you know what you're doing. Change it to sRGB in Lr Preferences > External editing.
    Don't change Photoshop color settings! That will quickly get you into an even bigger mess than you are now. Reset it to default settings and don't touch them again until you know more. What you need to change is Lightroom "Edit in Photoshop" color space.

  • OVI deleted saved messages 6300

    Ok, my problem is simple. I updated the firmware of my 6300 using OVI suite.
    I allowed it to do a full backup, and restore and everything seemed great.
    hHowever, all my saved messages are gone All the folders and files and everything. Tis is totally f@~%ed (excuse my language) as I need the saved messages, that is why they are SAVED!!!
    How can I get them back on my phone and in the original folders? A simnple option would be great...
    I have backup of my phone on the computer, however when I try to sync the messages with my phone it doesnt copy them across. Basically the messages are on my comp and NOT in my phone where they should be.
    Dirty old firmware updates, should've left the phone alone methinks...
    Any help would be much appreciated thank you
    jezza

    Good to know.. you managed to sort out most of the issues... As you mention.. the Tone came with the phone..means it was a part of the firmware and not with the upgrade version of it... thats why you do not get it.. Unless someone is able to send it to you ..or you find it somewhere to download from thru' Google, it seems you will not get it back...

  • Why do I have blank saved messages on  my LG Cosmos 2 and no text?

    I have an LG Cosmos 2 and I have some saved text messages. I am not over the limit on the text messages I can save. All of my saved messages are from one person. However, when I click on the messages to view, all of the messages that I received show up as little blue screens but the text in the text messages that I replied back to are all visible. The only way that I can see the actual text for the messages that I've received is to open up the received messages individually. So I can't just scroll up and down to view the text in all of the text messages. I've tried deleting some even though I am not over the phone's memory capacity and I've also turned the phone off and back on again but none of that worked. Any other suggestions on how I can view the text from the received messages again? Thanks.

        I will do all I can to get your messaging working correctly ASAP, mem2094. However, I need you to clarify your question by providing me with a few more details. Are you saying that you don't get notified about new messages received? Do you need to manually open each message to know that you received new messages. Lastly, did this occur prior to you saving specific messages? I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • 9930 Saved Message Folder problem

    I bought a new 9930 when they were 1st sold and have upgraded to 7.0.0.374. My question/problem is that whenever I have to do a restart for whatever reason, all of the messages that were previously saved in the saved msg folder are GONE. I did find a way to get them back, which is if I save a new msg temporarily, then go back to the saved folder, and all of my saved messages are now there???  Is anyone else experiencing this and if there is a fix, could someone help me out...thanks.......

    Open your mail folder & then go to Options click on it & click on Message display and actions , display style and change to Single Messages.

  • I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.

    I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.

    ok sorry everyone but i solved it myself but the solution is so nuts i've posted it here to help others who have the same problem.
    to setup a comcast imap account on your iphone:
    go to mail, contacts, etc in settings
    under accts, select add account
    select "other"
    new screen, choose "add mail account"
    now on the new acct screen you must enter your name, email address and password for your GMAIL acct ! (yes i said your gmail acct !, or some other acct with a NON comcast address).
    hit next
    then the acct verifies
    when verified a screen will open with all the acct settings for this acct AND @ the top of the screen are the 2 buttons > imap or POP
    select imap and THEN CHANGE ALL THE ACCOUNT information to the comcast account !
    then hit next and the account will take a couple minutes to verify but it will verify and now you have a comcast imap acct set up on your iphone.  The problem must be that when the iphone sends the initial verify acct info to comcast (if you enter that information first) the comcast server is simply not setup yet to signal the iphone that there is an imap option.
