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.

How do I delete a LARGE text message conversation?

My message app is taking up nearly 6GB, so I exported all of my messages to an excel file and backed it up to my computer. However, now I can't delete the one conversation that is so large. When I swipe to delete it, it keeps my app busy, making it impossible to send/receive texts while it attempts to delete it. Then, when I disable to app and reboot the device, the conversation is restored. I know that it takes the phone time to delete such a large file, so accounting for this, I even swiped to delete it just before I went to bed one night and let it work all night -- the conversation was still restored after I rebooted the phone the next morning. Do I just need to wait even longer? Is there anyway to get into the software and actually delete the file manually rather than having to wait for the phone to effectively delete it?

That doesn't address my problem at all, really. The conversation contains over 80,000 messages and I want to delete all of them to free up the 6GB it's taking up on my phone. It is so large that the phone can't effectively delete it, so I'm trying to figure out another way to delete it other than the ineffective swiping method (and I think it'd take me years to go through and delete 80k messages, 50 messages at a time). Thanks for trying, though.

How do I delete a large text message I sent that glitches the message app?

I just recently sent a REALLY large text message to my friend, but I don't think she actually got it. Since I sent this really big text I can't open the app for messages. Well, I can but it is frozen in the convo I sent the text in and after about 3 seconds the app closes back to the home screen. In the few seconds that I can keep the app open I tried to press the back button (on the upper left hand corner), to delete the convo so that is gets rid of the message. But, like I said before, it is frozen so it won't go anywhere. Also, while the app is open for a few seconds I tried holding the large text to delete it, but again the app is frozen so will do absolutely nothing. I really don't know how to to delete the convo or message to get the app working again. Please tell me if there is any other way to get the app working again. I have thought of resetting me phone, but that would be my last resort. I have a ton of valuable information I have to keep. Thank you!

Reset the Device using this method: Hold the home button + the lock button for about 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data or current settings.

Reverse the step you took to set it up. It is a setting in either the mail programs on both devices or on the service provider you are using.
I detest these out of office/town on vacation emails. So what if someone is out of the office or on vacation.

How do I delete a voice mail message before listening to the message ?

Hi ,
I see what you mean.This cannot be deleted without calling the voicemail.
You can remove the voicemail if you no longer want this.
Or ring the voicemail from a different number and delete it this way.
Thanks.

How do I delete a single text message from iPhone 6,I don't have a trash can.

How do I delete a single text message from conversation on I phone 6 ? I don't have a trash can & touching "edit" will only delete the all messages from that person.

Thanks for your reply, deggie, but as I stated in the original question I do not have a trash can. However, I went to the Verizon store and after many attempts to locate a trash can the sales rep turned off the phone with both buttons held down. When the apple came back the trash can came back. He had never seen that problem before so we both learned something !

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.
