Delete text message

I`m trying to delete a contact out of my iphone.  The contact no longer appears in my contacts but when you go into messages and type in a recipient, the name comes up.  I noticed that when I search the name some old text messages come up but when you click on them they lead nowhere.  I`m guessing these messages need to be gone for the contact to stop showing up.  How do you delete them?

Only way to delete this is to restore the phone as NEW (not from backup)

    Hello everyone,
    How can I delete text messages from my iphone?  I do not want to reset my iphone setting. If it is nesscary to reset my iphone setting, will I lose everything?
    Please let me know,
    Thanks,

    Just delete them. Or, do you mean beyond just deleting them? Then, you'd need to wipe the phone - select Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. That's a secure wipe of the iPhone contents, takes several hours (connect to AC power). You'll need to set your phone up from scratch (and erase the old backup(s) from your computer, since your SMS history is part of the backup).

  • I used to have a IPhone3 about three years ago, unfortunately i do not have it anymore. My question is is there a way to obtain deleted text messages from my phone number from a short period of time before i got rid of my phone?

    About three years ago in 1012 I had an iphone3 sent and deleted text messages of course and as of now those text messages are needed for an upcoming court case i will be involved with. So is there any way to retrieve those text messages from three years ago. I am just in need of the text messages from February 2012 on. So its about 6 to 10 months of texts. what do I have to do to get them back if possible???

    As the others noted, if you don't have any older iTunes backups then the deleted messages would not be recoverable. The free trial of Decipher TextMessage will show you if there are any text messages in your older backups that can be recovered.

  • Is there a way to get a deleted text message back ?

    Is there a way to get a deleted text message back ?

    Yes, you could Restore your iPhone from your backup on iCloud and get the text. Any texting, or other items, you did between the backup and the Restore would be lost.

  • How can I recover accidentally deleted text messages?

    I accidentally deleted text message from a specific person in my phone.  Not sure how to recover from an earlier version of a back up?  Or if that's possible.  HELP!  I need these messages!

    Restore from a backup that was done before you deleted them.
    Otherwise they are gone.

  • How can I read non-deleted text messages from months ago without having to continuously press "Load Earlier Messages"?

    I never deleted text messages from a specific person in case I ever wanted to go back and look at them. Now months have gone by and I don't feel like continuously pressing "Load Earlier Messages" for hours trying to get back and look at them. Is there anyway I can upload the whole conversation on to my computer and read the entire conversation from the beginning?

    Yes.
    I use iBackupBot.

    Myself and my girlfriend use the decipher textmessage program. She's on windows and I use the version for my macbook pro. It works cool and lets you save your text messages from your iphone to your computer. I've actually recovered a few deleted messages with it too which was helpful since I'm a laywer and needed them for work. Their site is:

    Good luck! Hope you and your family are able to recover your sms messages!

  • Cant select and delete text messages

    Since the latest ios7 update i can no longer select and delete text messages.  I have to delete the entire conversation.  Anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix?

    Tap and hold on a text within a conversation. Tap "More" in the pop up menu. Select the messages you want to delete by tapping in the little circles at the left of the messages. Tap the trash can in the lower left of the screen.
    Best of luck.

  • How do I recover a deleted text message if the phone has never been backed up/synced

    How do I recover a deleted text message if the phone has never been backed up/synced.  Yes, I know, I know I should be backing up/syncing my phone . . . but that hasn't been yet.  So, can I still find the deleted text message?  If I sync for the first time will it also sync deleted messages?

    Asking exactly the same question a second time will NOT get you a different answer.
    You can not recover that which has been deleted and was never backed up.
