IPhone is undeleting deleted messages

Hi,
I have an iPhone 4S with AT&T.  I am having trouble keeping my voicemail box from not filling up because when I delete multiple voicemails and then go to deleted messages to clear them out of mailbox, the iPhone randomly selects voicemails to keep and puts them back in voicemail area of the phone.  I have tried powering phone on and off and it doesn't do anything thing.  Any ideas on what I can try?
Thanks!

Hey maggielandes,
First, try force closing the Phone application and try again:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
from: iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
And if that doesn't work, I would reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
from: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
And if that doesn't resolve the issue then I would backup the device to iTunes and restore it. Just be cautious and back up first, since restoring deletes all content and settings:

  • How do I get iPhone to store deleted messages in MobileMe trash?

    Here's the scenario: I have a Mac Pro, MacBook and iPhone 4. I use IMAP MobileMe with Mail.app for email while at home, and while I'm away and don't have my MacBook with me, I use the MobileMe web interface. I want all of my deleted messages from these different sources to end up in the same Trash mailbox on the server. I thought I had all of my devices set up to do that, but what's happening now is that when I delete a message from the iPhone, it goes into a folder called "Deleted Messages" in my MobileMe folders list.
    On my Macs I have "Store deleted messages on server" checked, and "Erase deleted messages" set to "never". On my iPhone I've set the trash to "On the Server > Deleted Messages (.Mac)". This description appears next to the trash can icon, which I assumed would be where my deleted messages from Mail.app are going. But this doesn't seem to be the case.
    Any ideas?

    I haven't tried this, but browsing in private browsing (Tools > Start Private Browsing) while doing will probably keep Firefox from storing which sites you visited. Clearing the last hour's history will probably do the trick too.

  • IPhone not moving deleted message on the Server

    Okay,
    I have an IMAP account on my iPhone and my web mail is set to move deleted messages into the Trash Folder.
    But for some reason when I delete a message on my iPhone it will show up in the Trash folder on the Phone but on the web mail it’s only marked (line thought it).
    Is this do to the iPhone or?

    I am having exactly the same issue. My boss uses a Samsung Blackjack (Windows Mobile) and his will remove from the server the emails he deletes from his Blackjack. When I delete my IMAP email from the iPhone it does NOT delete from the server - even when I empty the Trash folder.

  • Iphone won't delete messages

    I have an iPhone 5s, and before that I had a 4s. Back when I upgraded to ios 7 on my 4s, I experienced a problem where I could not delete texts, and when I got my 5s, the issue persisted. So here is what's happening: lets say I want to delete all the messages with my girlfriend, I go to the conversation and I delete it like normal, but then I want to text a friend. So I tap on the convo of my friend and suddenly my phone gets real slow, and about 15 seconds later the convo opens up, but it only shows the last message sent by either of us, and when I try to send a text, it won't send. So I turn my phone off and back on (I've also tried holding the home button and lock button at the same time) and when I get back into the messaging app, my girlfriends messages are back. but I can send texts again. That's my problem. But I've noticed that my messaging is taking up tons of space and id like to get rid of it. So I was searching around and a guy on the apple forums had a solution where I would turn off messages in spotlight search and then go to the message app and delete everything in it, then close out every running application and then do a reset. He said to repeat it multiple times and the space being used would slowly go down. but when I do that and I turn my phone off and then back on, all my messages are still there and the space used does not go down. I dont know what I should do.

    The person on the Apple forums was deeply incorrect

  • TS2755 why wont my iphone let me delete messages? my phone freezes and then all the messages i deleted reappear.

    i have tried deleting my messages 3 times and everytime they go away but m phone freezes so i turn it off. But when  i turn it back on all the messages i have deleted reappear. Also i have not gotten several texts that people have sent me.

    Hi Amitt_s,
    After you restored it to factory settings, did you restore as new or from a backup?  If it was from a backup, I'd try restoring as new to see if, without any of your previous data, the issue persists:

  • How do I stop my Iphone 6 from deleting messages from my email server?

    I am new to Apple phones.  When I trash messages on my phone, they are also eliminated from my server.  How do I tell it to leave them on the server and just delete from the phone?

    I have tried that and it doesn't work for me. I can set everything up, but then it won't get mail. At all.. Says server isn't responding. My issue with imap is that it won't create copies like POP does. It downloads directly from the server. So whoever is reading my email (my husband) on his phone, if he deletes it, then it's deleted from my phone, or email client as well. It's a sticky business. Any suggestions?
    IMAP is not good for a shared email account for this very reason (but is great for a single reader who uses many devices for access). The best suggestion I have is to create separate email accounts, if possible. Otherwise, you'll both really have to be conscientious about not deleting emails.

  • ICloud mail: iPhone creates Deleted Messages folder for Trash mail?

    I had a problem with one iCloud email account which I've spent half a day truing to sort so though I'd post what happened here in case anyone knows how it happened or in case anyone has the same problem.  The problem centres around the Trash folder.
    On all the other accounts (all iCloud email) the folders are replicated and all work.  So Sent, Archive, Drafts and Trash are there.  Deleting a mail on the iPhone, on the Mac or the Cloud puts the mail in the Trash (with the bin icon) and it's visible on all three devices in the same location (albeit the phone uses the Deleted Messages name for trash which is a bit dumb IMO considering it's called Trash everywhere else!!).
    One account though seems to be in a mess.  In the Cloud the folder structure is correct and all with the icons.  The first problem is when adding the account to the phone.
    First up, when selecting the various behaviours you can see the Deleted Messages icon with the bin icon to select for deleted messages (I do think this is confusing though - why not use the same folder name as appears in IMAP mail - Trash???)  BUT there is also a folder called Trash that the phone can see in IMAP but that doesn't exist in the iCloud folder structure.  Why this folder is even visible I don't know because on iCloud mail there are no user created folders at all, just the default icons and folder names.
    When I send a message to the address on the iPhone and delete it from there the iPhone creates a Deleted Messages folder that is visible on iCloud mail.  When I select the bin/trash icon on mail on the phone the mail is in there.  The bin / Trash folder on iCloud remains empty and the Deleted Messages folder has the deleted mail.
    So the first issue seems to be that the phone is seeing a folder that isn't there or that somehow the correctly named Trash folder with the icon has become named Trash when the phone sees it, and has a generic folder icon.  Either way, I can't delete this Trash folder.
    How it seems to have got fixed was that after trying all manner of things I went to Preferences on iCloud.  I told iCloud to store messages in Deleted Messages.  I then deleted the Deleted Messages folder then suddenly this Trash folder the phone had been seeing became visible.  I then deleted that too and on checking back the Preferences had defaulted back to Trash, the only available option now. 
    Having gone back to the iPhone the bin icon is still next to the Deleted Messages folder but that Trash folder had gone.  There were no other user defined folders either
    I then tested sending messages to the account and deleting them from the phone, Mac and Cloud and they all went to the right place (Trash) and were all visible.
    I'd had a problem ages ago where random mailboxes were appearing under the separate email names BELOW where the default boxes are listed and below any On My Mac folders.  I'm wondering whether at some stage, with an old Google hangover, whether I'd selected 'Use this Mailbox for' when these random boxes appeared which might have renamed or messed with the routing of boxes in the Cloud.

    That's the way it works. Push notifications are only triggered when you get "new" mail. Other actions, like deleting, reading, moving to a folder do not trigger a Push notification. Those actions only change things when you open the mail app.

  • Do do i ensure email messages deleted on iPhone are also deleted on server

    i have been using email on iphone4 extensively. unfortunately, messages deleted on iphone are not deleted on the server (same for gmail) and remain in the inbox (undeleted) when i check into macbook. have checked allknown settings. appreciate solution if any...

    I know with my POP mail accounts when I delete on my phone it also deletes from the server. Are these POP or IMAP?
    When you say "have checked all known settings" do you mean that in Settings-Mail-Account-Advanced you have selected to "delete from server when deleted from iPhone" and also "Remove Deleted Messages in one day"?
    Could it be that you delete the messages from your inbox but never empty your deleted messages folder?
    Other than these things it may be a setting that you need to do on your individual email servers as this should work on the iPhone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Hello, I am curious if there is any way to recover a deleted voicemail from my iPhone 4 after I have deleted it from my deleted messages.

    Hello, I am curious if there is any way to recover a deleted voicemail from my iPhone 4 after I have deleted it from my deleted messages.

    No but you can go to the deleted messages just after you delete them and undelete. Once the carrier deletes it from the system you cannot get it back.

  • "Delete messages from server" Mail iPhone 5

    Hi, I am trying to locate "delete messages from server" option in Mail Settings on iPhone 5 and can't find it. In iPhone 4 it was just in the Advanced settings but it is not there in iPhone 5. Help please? Thanks

    Not sure who your email provider is. Mine is hotmail. When you set up email with hotmail on an iPhone 4 the delete from server never is available. I just got an iPhone 5, i reset up my hot mail account and can't find that setting either. I set it up by using the hotmail button not "other" so meaning delete your hotmail account from your phone. Then re set it up. But when you do add email account, don't use the button that says hotmail. Use the bottom choice that says "other". I have no idea why this is different but if you do this it will set up hotmail just the same. But now that setting is there. The "delete from server" and you set it to "never". Now when you delete the emails from your hot mail account on the iPhone, it leaves that email on the hotmail server. So when you look at email on the computer it's there still. It's good this way if you share email with someone.

  • Iphone 5 - I am trying to delete message threads and once I do, I go to text someone else and it won't send. HELP? I just don't want those messages on my phone anymore.

    Iphone 5 - I am trying to delete message threads and once I do, I go to text someone else and it won't send. HELP? I just don't want those messages on my phone anymore. I have tried to restart my phone but when I do, the "deleted" threads show back up on my phone. I use iOS 7.1.

    Hello Makayla,
    It sounds like you're deleted message threads keep coming back after you restart the devie. I recommend starting by quitting all the running apps on your phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it. 
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes and then restore it as a new device and verify that it works. 
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Sterling

  • I have a  macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I

    I have a  macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
    To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

  • Is there any way to actually delete messages from my iPhone? I have already synced my iPhone, updated it, and deleted all of my backups but the messages I have "deleted" still appear in the spotlight search.

  • Deleted message not removed from iPhone Inbox

    Since updating my iPhone 3G to 4.01 I have found that when I delete messages from the inbox the messages are not completely removed from the inbox. I am left with a blank unread message. The only way I can completely delete is to turn the phone off and restart. Is anybody else having this problem? I have also found that I lose service in places I have been able to use the phone.
