Is there any way to delete saved messages from IPhone 4 memory?

Is there any way to delete saved messages from IPhone 4 memory?

Firstly you DO NOT have to do a factory reset / wipe device, it is simply not required to get the space back!!
Mine had 3GB and I just got rid of it all, here is how:
Make a backup in iTunes
open iBackupBot (Google it)
Go to the relevant backup
Click on Multimedia File Manager and click on the other Multimedia files tab
Sort by filename by clicking the Filename tab
Find MediaDomain/Library/SMS/Attachments and highlight all of them, then press delete.  You can also click to export to a folder of your choice, if you want to save them that is. 
Then go to System Files>MediaDomain>Library>SMS>Attachments
They will be all listed here, highlight them all and press delete
Then just restore that backup using iTunes! 
Tadaa! Space recovered, your messages are still there but without the attachments! 
P.S You may want to make two backups in case you get any of the above steps wrong, but it is simple to follow the above and not do anything wrong!

  • Is there any way to delete text messages from the external screen of an LG EnV3?

    The internal screen of my phone doesn't work, so I've been texting from the external key pad. But my inbox has gotten full and I can't receive texts anymore. Is there any way to delete texts using only the external screen of the EnV3?

    It was awhile ago and I'm not totally sure, but I think this was discussed and the conclusion was that you can't delete texts using the external screen of the Env3. **Edit  (Found one thread: http://community.vzw.com/t5/Messaging-Text-Picture-IM-etc/No-option-to-delete-text-messages-from-front-of-LG-enV3/m-p/43042#M1684 )  It came up in one other thread that I could find and the solution was to use the internal, and similar steps were given - the only difference was using the OK for Menu and #2 for Messages, rather than the left soft key for Messages.  vWhatever works... 
    What you CAN do, is open the flip, left soft key (which is the Messages menu), and there are several options - these are the text messaging ones -
    1. New Message
    2. Inbox (#)
    3. Sent (#)
    4 Drafts (#)
    Press the right soft key (options) and your choices are:
    1.Erase Inbox
    2.Erase Sent
    3.Erase Drafts
    4.Erase All
    If you choose Erase All, then OK - it will erase all except unread messages, and locked messages. If you choose any of the numbers, then hit OK, it will erase ALL in that category, read or not, so I would choose Option 4 to erase all but the unread.
    HTH, and post back if you have further questions...

    Is there any way to print text messages from an iPhone 3GS?

    The only ways to print any text messages from any of the iOS devices is to either do a print screen and then print those photos, or you could look for a program called TouchCopy that will allow you to download the SMS to the computer and you can handle them from there.

  • Is there any way to delete a run from my iTunes Nike+iPod history?

    I'm using a shoe "hack" for my chip, which unfortunately didn't work -- resulting in a 58minute run that only clocked in .6miles on my nano. I've deleted the run from the iPod itself, but not before I synched with my iTunes. So now I have an erroneous run on my iTunes history. Is there a way to delete this so it won't upload to my running history on the nikeplus website?

    I just deleted a run from the Nike+ site after syncing with iTunes. You should be able to do the same.
    Just select the run and from the Options drop-down menu in the upper right hand corner select "Delete run".
    HTH

  • Is there any way to delete a books from the cloud?

    I used to be on my parents account and I bought a lot of books. Now my parents would like to delete some of these. Is there any way I could do this?

    They can't be deleted because they aren't stored in their personal iCloud account (and as a result, don't take up any of their iCloud storage).  They are stored in the iBooks store.  The cloud symbols are just links to their previously purchased books so they can redownload them if they want.
    If they don't want to see them, they can hide them in iTunes on their computer and they won't appear in the iBooks app on their devices.  This explains how to hide them: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

    Get third-party software, like this:

    Extract them, & read to your heart's content.
    There is no Apple supported way to do so.

  • Is there any way to delete an email from my phone without it deleting from my ipad?

    I have emails I don't necessarily want on my iPhone but would like to keep them on my ipad but when I delete from one it deletes from both. Any way to change that?

    If you have an IMAP or Exchange account, that's the way things work...your mail is kept in sync. You could create a new folder, on the server, then move the messages to this folder, rather than deleting them.
