How to delete text messages?

I have an Iphone 4. I have gone through and deleted each text, I have also gone through and deleted every converstation. When I turn the phone off and turn it back on it they all come right back on the screen. They are clogging up all my space on my phone and I can no longer send any data, take pictures, and my phone is running really slow. I have texts messages from over a year ago.

tap edit than click delete
Hope this helps.

    Deleating text messages ios 7
    I've updated from ois 6 to ios 7. I see the "edit" button in ios 6 that I used to deleate messages has been replaced wit a "contact" button. So how do I deleate the old history of messages between myself and the other person?

    Find the message you would like to remove and tap and hold on it. A menu will appear with options that include "Copy" and "More". Tap on "More". The message will be selected and you can then tap on the trash icon on the bottom left. Before trashing the message, you also have the option to select other messages to remove.

  • How can I delete text messages from my iphone?

    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 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.

    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:

  • 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.

  • How can i get back a deleted text message

    how can i get back a very important text message i deleted by mistake.my phone is iphone 3g
    thank you

    I'm going to post what I found via Google. As I understand, it works for some, not for others, so I'm not vouching for this, so do it at your own risk:
    FACT: SMS messages remain on the iPhone after deletion. When “deleted” on the iPhone, they are technically hidden and marked for deletion. Text messages are then deleted only after sync with iTunes.
    In order to recover a deleted text message or messages, run through the following 4 easy steps:
    STEP 1:
    Make sure iTunes doesn’t automatically sync with iPhone when connected.
    STEP 2:
    Connect your iPhone to iTunes and Back up by selecting Preferences > Backup from iTunes, or right-click on your iPhone and choose back up.
    STEP 3:
    Restore your iPhone by selecting Restore under Preferences. Note that restoring the iPhone will restore the previous iPhone firmware. Your iPhone will be completely erased after the new firmware is installed. So make sure your back up is good!
    STEP 4:
    The final step will be to restore your iPhone from the back up you created on step 2. This will allow you to restore any data you have backed up, including the “deleted” text messages.
    That’s it!
    It’s important to distinguish between iPhone data restore and iPhone firmware restore.
    iPhone data restore allows you to restore data you have already backup on iTunes. This is your photos, video, text messages…etc.
    iPhone firmware restore is pretty much like a restore to factory switch. This will restore your iPhone to the previous firmware or system and no user data. This option is often recommended if your suspect that your iPhone OS or iOS is unstable.

  • HT4859 how do I restore deleted text messages from an iCloud backup?

    I mistakenly deleted an important text conversation - swiping and deleting the wrong conversation.   My iphone is backed up to icloud, but not on my conputer.  Are there steps I can take to restore the deleted text messages from the icloud backup?  If so what are they and where will I find the restored messages after the process?   Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Hi again - thank you very much for the feedback.  It is actually a conversation over 3 days that is quite important so if I can recover it, I would like to.  
    As for the actual process, the most recent back up was prior to my deletion.   Three last questions (I hope...):
    1) How will I know what I need to redownload from itunes?
    2) Is this link the best in terms of the literal steps to take to do the restore: 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    3) Is there anything I should do to the phone before I begin the restore process?
    Again, thank you for your time - very much appreciate the expert advice.
