    Open the Messages App to teh messages list. Tap Edit. Tap the minus icon for each mesage thread, then tap Delete. Individual messages can be deleted from teh thread view by tapping Edit, selecting the message , then tapping Delete (lower left).
    Caveat - this will delete SMS messages from the Phone. How long they aactually remain on the server depends on your carrier's policies.

    How do I permanently delete photos or text messages?

    diesel,
    When I look for an answer to a problem, especially a question that might already be answered, it's because: 1) I need an answer right away, and might not be able to wait a few hours or days for someone to respond, 2) I often don't know if a feature or problem was there from the early iPhones or is brand new, so my first thought is not "that answer is old, therefore irrelevant."
    I know, "read the User's Guide." You sound like Mrs. Suggs, my third grade teacher. If I had taken up someone's time by posting a new question, I get the feeling you would have told me "Don't ask questions there are already answers to." But thank you for your help.

  • How do I permanently delete contacts from my text message log?

    How do I permanently delete contacts from my text message log?  It still shows old contacts once I've removed them from my phonebook

    i know that!! After you delete them and then compose a new text it is still there. Basically you know when you send an email to someone and do not store them it still auto populates their name. This is what happens with my phone. I Google this issue and learn some knowledge about data eraser tips.  Maybe most people still don’t know that actual contents of file are not really deleted when performing simple deletion operation on your iPhone or other devices. But they are just marked for deletion and not shown in the file system of your iOS device. The actual data are still physically present on your iPhone. For iOS system, the only way to completely erase the data is to overwrite the original contents by using iPhone data eraser app. this is the guide on how to permanently delete contacts on iPhone.
      The same thing happens to me, but it doesn't require deleting a contact. When I delete/replace a contact's number, the Messages.app still autocompletes the number with the contact's name and references it as "other". 

  • How do i permanently delete some of the shortcuts that have ended up on my preferences like good becomes bad etc

    I have some shortcuts on my keyboard settings I have repeatedly tried to get rid of - like good becomes replaced with bad - but they keep returning again. How do I permanently delete these and where?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    resetp
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • How can I permanently delete subfolders in email Trash?

    I have been getting duplicate email messages in one of my email folders for several weeks.  I think it started when I upgraded to OS X 10.6.6.  I have RoadRunner as a mail server and have not had this problem before on either my iMac or a previous PC.  I read many many support messages regarding duplicate email messages from this board and tried many of the hopeful fixes but none of them worked on a permanent basis. 
    I do not have any other electronic machines that hold or try to access my email.  I did, however just order a new laptop and would really like to get the duplication problem fixed before I receive the new computer.
    I have 2 email addresses on one server (RoadRunner).  They each have their own folder in Mail Inbox,  one is labeled Personal and the other is labeled Business.  I can send and receive email from my Personal address but I can only RECEIVE mail from my Business address.  I receive the duplicate messages in my Business Inbox folder. 
    I have deleted messages only to see them reappear the next time I open the folder.  Some of the 'fixes'  I tried caused me to have 3 or 4 duplications.  I noticed that all the instances of a message and its duplications would go to the Trash folder when I used the delete feature.   My Trash Folder also has 2  subfolders, one for Personal and one for Business.  I noticed that when I try to drag a deleted message from the Trash/Business folder it would not allow itself to be placed back in the Inbox/Business folder.  But when I dragged the deleted message from the main Trash Folder to the Inbox/Business folder it would allow itself to be deposited.  So, I deleted the subfolders under the Trash Folder and all seemed to be great.  No more duplicated.  But - the subfolders keep reappearing when I reopen mail.  I have deleted the subfolders each time, but they won't stay deleted.  How do I permanently delete the Trash subfolders?

    You are seeing an intentional but strange feature of GMail...  nothing is ever deleted, and instead remains forever in All Mail.  You probably want to just hide All Mail from Mail, so that you don't have to see it and don't have all those messages syncing back to your Mac.  See Hiding GMail’s “All Mail” from Apple Mail.  There has been one change on GMail since I wrote that, though...  you no longer have to go to Labs and turn on Advanced IMAP.

    how do you permanently delete apps from all your mac products (MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone)

    They are not taking up storage space.  Apple knows you installed them at one time (="purchased", whether you paid money or not), and merely keeps a list so that if you wish to reinstall any of them on this or a future device, you can.  This is useful if maybe you deleted them due to space constraints, and now have a device with more memory and wish to reinstall.
    It's also useful for taking a trip down Memory Lane looking at all the useless apps you installed once then immediately deleted once you realized they were total garbage ...

    I have a MacBook Air and I use "Notes" when I delete a folder it comes back. How do I permanently delete it?

    it all depends on what's running in the macbook air that causes it to heat up.
    open activity monitor - change my processes to all processes - and on the %CPU, click it twice and see what running using 10% and above in the %CPU section.
    highlight anything that are using high CPU percentage and hit quit process.  see if that brings the temperature back down to normal.
    screenshot below is my activity monitor - have a look at it - nothing over 10% on the %CPU section.

    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:
