After updating to IOS 8, I can not delete individual messages, and the trash can is gone

After I updated on IOS 8, I can not delete individual messages, only delete all and the trash can is gone!!! Anyone else having this problem?

The option is still there - hold down on said text - more - then hit the trash icon.

Can not delete individual messages on ios8

I can not delete individual messages in iMessage after I "upgraded" to ios8. If you hold down on the message, tap "more", THERE IS NO TRASH CAN ANYWHERE ON THE SCREEN. There is no option I have found anywhere, except to delete the entire conversation. Please help.

Thanks heaps.....the trying to enter a reply, then swiping downward on the keyboard worked. That is the first useful suggestion I've seen for multiple posts with this question, so thank you very much. Hopefully the next update will fix that problem so you don't have to go through the delete process the long way, but happy to use it as a temporary measure in the mean time.
Thanks for taking the time to help.

TS3276 Apple Mail cannot find replies or forwarded emails -- the little arrows on the left of the list of emails: "Mail was unable to find your reply to the message '[subject of message]'. You may have deleted the message." I did not delete the message.

Apple Mail cannot find replies or forwarded emails -- the little arrows on the left of the list of emails: "Mail was unable to find your reply to the message '[subject of message]'. You may have deleted the message." I did not delete the message. Bug in the program, or am I missing something?

Of course they're in my Sent folder. Then why can't Apple Mail find them?

Can not delete text messages without phone freezing when i reset it text messages are back

can not delete text messages without phone freezing when i reset it text messages are back...help taking up a lot of space.

Try this...
Close out all apps (double click the home button and swipe up) then delete one thread. Do a hard reset of the phone or ipad, then wait a few minutes and it should be gone. I just did this with a thread that had thousands of txt and it worked for me. The older phones just don't have much processing power.

Resetting Phone with No Power Button and iPhone Not Backed Up Message Blocking the Slide to Power Off Feature

I've learned how to reset the phone after an iPhone Not Backed Up message cannot be clicked off of, but my Power button is not working and I've been using the greyed out screen button to lock the screen and power off. Now it is not working to turn the phone off for a reset because the iPhone Not Backed Up message is in the way of sliding the power off feature on the screen. Do I have any options?

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep\Wake and Home Buttons until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears

IPhone not deleting mail from server

I realise that this appears to be a recurring problem, but I haven't found a post with an outright solution.
The problem I have is with the the 2 POP accounts. the MobileMe account works fine.
On the phone, I have it set to remove mail from server when moved from the inbox. Unfortunately this does not occur and sure enough the mail reappears on my Mac. I've tried setting the 2 accounts on the Mac to mimic the setting on the iPhone (currently the accounts are set to delete right away) but this also does not work.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks.

I have Deleted Messages under Advanced set to Never, but do not have anything available to change about Server settings under Incoming settings - just SSL, Authentication, IMAP Path Prefix, and Server Port.
As already provided, this is an IMAP account.
All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account. You can select to store the account's Drafts, Trash, and Sent mailboxes on the server or locally, but the account's Inbox mailbox is stored on the server and cannot be changed.
When deleting a message from the account's Inbox mailbox with an IMAP account, the message is removed from the account's Inbox mailbox on the server and transferred to the account's Trash mailbox. This will be reflected automatically when checking the account's Inbox mailbox with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account since all server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
If you have the account's Trash mailbox set to be stored locally, you can try transferring the messages from the account's Trash mailbox back to the account's Inbox mailbox so these messages will be available when accessing the account's Inbox mailbox with the email client on your computer.

To delete trash messages with expire.rule

Hi,
With Messagin server 6.0 I have put this rule in:
/opt/SUNWmsgsr/config/store.expirerule
Rule2.regexp: 1
Rule2.folderpattern: user/.*/trash
Rule2.messagedays: 1
So It must delete all messages in users trash folder older than 1 day.
Is this correct?
imexpire is runnig ad 11 p.m by default:
local.schedule.expire = "0 23 * * * /opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin/imexpire
Do I have to run some other process?

ok,
It doesn't matter what character I use because no one works.
Any of this rules doesn't expire messages wich subject is "All for your PC"
Rule1.regexp: 1
Rule1.folderpattern: user/*
Rule1.Subject: All for your PC
Rule1.regexp: 1
Rule1.folderpattern: user/%
Rule1.Subject: All for your PC
Rule1.regexp: 1
Rule1.folderpattern: user/.%
Rule1.Subject: All for your PC
I have used all possible combinations in the folderpattern but no one expire messages.
But if I change the line
Rule1.Subject: All for your PC by Rule1.messagedays: 5
it works right so the problem seems not to be really the folder pattern but the line
Rule1.Subject
This line doesn't work and I certainly know that there are messages with this subject. I have tried the line:
Rule1.Subject: All for your PC
and doesn't work too.
In this URL
http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6738-10/store.html#wp999497
are samples that use * and not %
What could be wrong with the line:
Rule1.Subject ?

Mail will not delete any messages

I have a 10.5.6 server running my mail services. I have a 10.5.6 client checking it. I currently have over 4,000 messages in my inbox and they all get downloaded when I check my mail. If I go to the account preferences in Mail.app and tell it to delete all the messages, they are not deleted. If I go to Get Account Info in Mail.app, I can see all the messages on the server. If I try to delete any of them, they're never deleted.
Now, to get more technical. I telnet into 110 on my server and user the user/pass commands to log into the POP server. Doing a "list" shows how many messages I have and how large they are.
Let's say the last one is 4133 (which it is). I do "dele 4133" to remove the message, then another "list". It shows the message is deleted. I quit out of the pop server, log back in and the same message is there.
Seeing all this, I know the messages aren't getting deleted.
Any ideas why? I have to disable my email until I get this resolved. I currently have 170,000 messages in my client's junk folder (fun times deleting those).

Yes, it was definitely within Cyrus. The Apple interfaces are pretty and all but they didn't even get close to helping me solve this easily.
Essentially, what I did was download all the emails from the server (to make sure I didn't miss anything), rename my email folder to something different to preserve the emails in case I really did miss something, then do a recover on the mailbox.
Being a UNIX-head, here's what I did on the server:
cd /var/spool/imap/user
mv scott scott.dead
sudo /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -r user/scott
Sudo, of course, prompted me for the superuser password but everything was fixed right away after that. It is recommended to shut down the mail service from inside the Server Admin program first.

Can not delete trash.

When I try to delete trash I get an error;
The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).
The files appear to be from Time Machine back up.

I located an other message line that discussed this problem also. There was several good ideas there. The one that worked for me was.
This technique uses a hidden feature of Mac OS X to force the Trash to empty. Perform the following steps in the order specified:
Press and hold the mouse button on the Trash icon in the Dock. The context menu for Trash will display.
Press and hold the Option key.
Select Empty Trash from the context menu for Trash.
Release the Option key.
I found this info at.

Thanks for all the inputs. My trash seems to be deleted now.

IPhone not deleting Rented Movies

I have rented 2 movies over the last month. Both synced to my iPhone and have been were watched without any problem. They are now showing "Expired" on the iPhone, but when I sync using iTunes they do not delete. The iPhone is now full and I can't find a way to delete the movies. Can anyone help please?

Go to your list of rented movies on the phone, swipe your finger across the movies you don't want, and tap the red delete button.

I can not delete unwanted message because I am not getting the delete button popup to activate deletion. Where did it go!?

I can not delete unwanted emails because my delete prompt button is not appearing after I prompt edit and choose my email to edit. How do I make the prompt button to appear on edit page as before? Thanks MRH

Close out of the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
then check and see if you can delete emails.

IPhone 4 will not delete 'trash' ... "Unable to Move Message ... The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash"

I cannot empty my 'trash' ... it comes up with ... "Unable to Move Message ... The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash"
I went into Settings > Mail > 'my account' > advanced > deleted mailbox > Trash (On My iPhone) ... it appears to delete a few items only ... I may try to individually delete 30 items and only 4 go ? help please ...

I have the same problem and there is no advanced option. Was this removed in the upgrade to ios 5? I have been chasing a solution to this and the fact I have various duplicate emails appearing in my work account for days now! It seems like I may have to delete my account and re-install. This appears to be a common problem, where is Apple's fix for it?
