Howcan i delete my message history from my device?

When i delete my conversations from Messages they still show up on my device in the search window.  I would like to be able to completely delete them.  

I think only a restore of the device will do that.

    How can I delete the Threat History from VZ Protect on my Samsung S4

    Remove Verizon Protect or disable it if you cannot remove it and install a reputable anti virus / anti malware application from Google Play.  I would use something along the lines of Lookout Mobile Security or AVG mobile, or Avast to name a few of them.  There are others that work very well and use very little system resources to do it.  I have used all of these and Lookout seems to work the best for me.
    Verizon Protect gives a lot of false positives on things

  • Deleting whatsapp conversations history from icloud

    hello, how can i delete whatsapp conversations history from icloud as i backed it up long time ago and now want to delete it

    Hi soumyashree,
    That's fustrating, I've been there before with a stuck iCloud restore, I just had to wait it out in the end. Hours!!
    If you made an iTunes backup before the conversation was deleted you could restore from that.
    If you don't, try to restore from the iCloud backup again. As a last restort, you could try some iCloud restore troubleshooting tips.
    or third party recovery software to help you get your whatsapp chat back. However this may cost money.
    Be sure to look through reviews before you make a decision.

    How to clear/delete component information(History) from Indd??

    I think Jong was telling you that your question was very not clear. 
    (And I agree with him!)
    I'm assuming you are talking about the document history available by 
    command/control clicking on "About InDesign" and/or plugin history.
    The only way to clear out that data is by exporting as inx/idml...

  • I have deleted email and photos from my device but icloud still says I don't have any storage

    I have deleted emails and photos from my device but iCloud still says I don't have enough storage to download the latest iOS version

    You'll have to delete more data from the device. 
    Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device.  (Ignore storage on icloud, since that is not part of the equation.)

  • Delete mail message information from logs according MID

    Hi,
    I am interesting if any way exists to delete specific message (according MID) from IronPort mail logs .
    The problem: VIP user send mail message with very sensitive information (in message subject) and we want to delete this specific message from any IronPort logs, because our HelpDesk have access to message tracking and we really don't want that HelpDesk can see subject (even accidentally)
    Thanks.

    Also, another way to do this is delete the tracking db.
    Note: This would delete all the tracking info.
    xxxxxx> diagnostic
    Choose the operation you want to perform:
    - RAID - Disk Verify Utility.
    - DISK_USAGE - Check Disk Usage.
    - NETWORK - Network Utilities.
    - REPORTING - Reporting Utilities.
    - TRACKING - Tracking Utilities.
    []> tracking
    Choose the operation you want to perform:
    - DELETEDB - Reinitialize the tracking database.
    - DEBUG - Gather debug information.

  • How to transfer Messages history from Mavericks to Yosemite clean install

    I would like to do a clean install of Yosemite on my MacBook, but retain all of my Messages history and attachments from my current Mavericks install. Is this possible? What files do I need to copy from the Mavericks install (before I wipe the HD) and where do I need to put them after I install Yosemite (cleanly)? Anything else I need to do after copying them?
    Thanks!

    I managed to finally get mine to work, but not after a bit of trouble and losing new messages since my time machine back up (about a days worth since my backup replaced my current. I backed up and upgraded last night, and I figured out how to restore messages this morning, so anything in between that I got on my phone was lost. no big deal).
    Much of the below is from other discussions, so I don't want to take credit for it, but wanted to make it easy for you, and there was one small change.
    First make sure you can see hidden files by opening terminal and inputting: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
    QUIT YOUR MESSAGES APP
    Replace the following files from your backup to your current clean install. Pretty much all the files should be in the same spot, except for one folder that I'll explain further below.
    Same File path
    /users/<name>/Library/Messages-------> /users/<name>/Library/Messages/ this folder should include 4 files:
    chat.db
    chat.db-shm
    chat.db-wal
    the folder "Attachments"
    /users/<name>/Library/Preferences----> /users/<name>/Library/Preferencescopy any file that includes iChat or Messages in the .plist
    Different File pathI am not sure if this matters, but it's something I noticed when I got a message in my clean install before trying to restore my history. In Yosemite, I noticed that that "Attachments" and "Archive" folder are both in /users/<name>/Library/Messages, whereas  in Mavericks, the "Attachments" folder is in that file path, but the "Archive" folder is located in /users/<name>Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/iMessages/Archive, and within this same folder there is a shortcut to the Attachments folder. (I'm not sure if this matters, but this worked for me). I hope I didn't confuse you there!
    /users/<name>/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Messages/Archive-------> /users/<name>/Library/Messages/
    Restart your computer
    Open Messages and it will rebuild your database.
    Ta da!

  • How do I delete the message app from my mac?

    I have a late 2009 iMac 21.5" monitor.
    I noticed when I upgraded the operating system, Messages was added.
    I don't like having messages appear on the iMac.
    I've tried to disable messages, by removing all associated accounts.  eg. phone, email. etc,
    However, the messages from my iPhone keep appearing on the device. 
    Is there a way to disable to delete the Messages app?
    I have the yosemite operating system (which ever is the latest).
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Does anyone know how to print or "archive" text message history in the message application?

    And there are other third-party utilities that allow you to transfer SMS and Voicemail from your iPhone to your Mac, where you can manipulate them as you wish.

  • IChat - Synching Chatting History from multiple devices on same account

    I currently have the iChat server up and running on a MacMini running OS X 10.6.4. I see in the iChat client on my MacBook Pro where it will load past messages when I open a chat with a buddy. I am also running a jabber client on my iPhone (IM+ is the iPhone app). What I am curious about is if there is a way to load chat history for the account, not just from the device.
    For instance, when using Skype the following will occur. I can chat on my iPhone, and then when I login to my Laptop, the history of chats sent from my iPhone will be added to the history on my Laptop. I am trying to prevent having to look back at every device I use my jabber account on to find that one IM message that has the information I need.
    Is there a way to sync the account on all clients (or at least just my MacBook Pro) so I can view chats there sent from all my devices and not just from my Laptop?

    Tim,
    I have turned on the logging feature inside of the iChat server, and I have seen all IMs being sent are saved.
    So do you think this is more of a client side problem of not being able to sync from the Message Archive on the OS X Snow Leopard 10.64 iChat server? Meaning that if the IMs are being saved, then all that really needs to be done is to create a client that will access the server log and do a compare of its local saved history with the server saved history and then takes any missing IMs and adds to its local history log?
    Am I far off base on this, or does this seem feasable?
