Deleting part of message

I find I am unable to delete parts of an email (sent to me) that I want to forward (like other people's addresses, etc). When I highlight want I want to delete and hit the delete button, the entire message goes to the trash.
Any suggestions?

Try restarting your iPhone by holding the sleep button and then sliding to power the iPhone off, then pressing it again to wake it back up.
Also, make sure your aren't double tapping the space bar with the period shortcut enabled in Settings > General > Keyboard.

    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.

  • How do I delete part of a message conversation?

    I have to reboot my iPhone 5 to get the trash can to appear when I am trying to delete a part of a message conversation. Is there another way to delete part of a conversation? Using IOS 8.2.
    Thanks!

    If you do Get Info for the song - then (in Options tab, I think) amend the Start Time of the track so it's the point where the music starts. iTunes will permanently 'remember' your change.

    hold your finger on the part of the message you want to delete. This will give you the copy and more option. Choose more, and then you will be able to choose the message or messages you want to delete. Once selected you will be able to tap the trash can icon on the bottom of your screen.

  • Deleting parts of conversation in a message

    I have to reboot my iPhone 5 to get the trash can to appear when I am trying to delete a part of a message conversation. Is there another way to delete part of a conversation? Using IOS 8.2.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply. I normally do exactly as you say. But for some reason the trash can fails to pop up after I check it and I can't use this method until I shut my phone off and reboot. Normally when looking at messages you see a camera, then iMesage block, then a microphone on the right bottom of the screen. When you hold down on a text bubble, click "More" then this bottom portion is replaced with a trashcan. This is not happening until I reboot and I don't know what is causing it. Hmm - bug?

  • Ios7 how do u delete part of conversations on your text messages?

    since updating to ios7 a couple of days ago i cannot seem to work out how to delete part of conversations in your messages? not the whole message just part of the conversations like u used to be able to
    thanks

    Hold down the part of the message you want to delete. When you do that "copy/more" options will pop up. Click "more" and put a check mark next to the texts that you want to delete then click on the trash can in the lower left hand corner.

  • IOS 8.1.1 deleting part of a conversation in Messages

    I can not seem to find a way to just delete part of a conversation in Messages any longer.  Previously I knew that if I held down on a particular message within a conversation a choice would pop up with copy or more and I could select the certain parts of a conversation I wanted to delete and select the trash can in the lower left corner. However I no longer see the trash can and my only choice is to delete the entire conversation how do I fix this?

    Hi Goldi3,
    It sounds like your Messages app keeps quitting on you even after restoring a backup then reinstalling iOS and restoring from your backup again. Next I would use iTunes to backup and restore your iPhone one more time but this time restore it as a new device and test Messages there.

    This step will help you determine if there is an issue with the backup itself or not. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Why can't I delete all incoming messages at once without having to select each one first. It can be done while in the "Trash" folder, but not the "IN" folder.

    Why can't I delete all incoming messages at once without having to select each one first. It can be done while in the "Trash" folder, but not the "IN" folder.

    Well, what I see happing is this: Tapping edit and checking the first message brings up the “Delete” option. Holding it until the red message “Delete Message” appears, then letting go of the red button and tapping the checked button makes the “Delete Message” message go away. The checked message is still checked with an option to delete just that message. Tap the checked message again just cancels the whole process and I’m back to square one.
    However, if I check a message that is part of a thread of messages and tap Delete, I have the option of deleting all messages in the thread.
    Perhaps the fact that I’m using the 3rd generation of the iPad is the problem, but your suggestion isn’t working.

  • Cannot delete 1 mail message on iPad

    Cannot delete 1 mail message on iPad.  Looks corrupted. 

    You could try deleting it by logging into your account on a browser. Otherwise try turning the account off and on and see if you can then delete it : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely and try again when you re-open Mail : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Error while deleting master data (Message no. RSDMD118)

    Dear all,
    I am performing a test to create and delete new Company Codes in Consolidation Workbench.
    Creation of new Company Codes went on successfully but deleting them give me the following error message upon saving:
    Error while deleting master data
    Message no. RSDMD118
    Since they are new Company Codes, they have not been used and stored in any BW cubes. Any idea on why BCS prevents me from deleting them?
    Appreciate assistance to troubleshoot and resolve this error.
    Thank you.

    Thank you both for your replies.
    I am sure those are not the case here as I deleted the Company immediately after creating it.
    Just to make sure, I performed "Where-Used List" again and BCS confirmed that it is not being used anywhere:
    Use of: Company UAT1 UAT Company 1
    Number of Uses Found: 0 
    However, the same error message was displayed again after I tried to delete the Company and save the configuration. Still can't find any solid reason behind this.

  • I like to be able to edit and delete individual text messages but since the update only have the functionality to delete a whole conversation

    I would like to be able to delete individual text messages not a whole conversation. With the iOS 7 update this is no longer possible.

    Yes, that's the way it works now.
