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 delete multiple spam messages at once. Right now I go through each individual spam and delete one at a time. This is very time consuming. Any tricks out there.
    Thank you

    Hi LRagsdale517,
    You should definitely be able to upload multiple files by Shift-clicking or Ctrl-clicking the files you want to upload. Just to make sure you don't have an old version of the service cached, please clear the browser cache and then log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. After clicking the File Upload icon in the upper-right corner, you should be able so select multiple files for upload.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

    I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

    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.

    Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.
    A replacement iPhone 4 is $149, but at least the whole phone is replaced.

  • Is there a way to delete certain messages that have already been deleted?

    I have some deleted messages that I want permanently deleted. Is there a way to delete individual messages permanently?

    If you do not have a backup, it's gone no matter who deletes the messages.
    If you have a backup, you can restore from that backup to retrieve the messages.

  • In the Kindle app, is there any way to delete books after I have read them?

    In the Kindle app, is there any way to delete books after i have read them?

    Nevermind that first part as I forgot that nothing shows up for the Nano at all in Device Manager,
    The 2nd half of my reply still applies:
    Otherwise, try uninstalling all USB root controlllers from your system, rebooting your PC, and reconnecting your Nano. This root controller drivers will automatically be re-installed upon reboot.

  • Is there a way to delete a message, iMessage, or notification which goes to multiple devices by just deleting it on one device?

    I use a Mac Pro at work, a Mac Air in the home office, an iPhone 4S, and an iPad. I love being able to start a message somewhere and continue it on another device, and I love notifications; however, when I finish my conversation or have read a SMS or gotten a Facebook notification and read it or gotten a reminder, I delete them. Is there a way to delete my message, iMessage, notification or reminder on one device and have them wiped on all my devices. I hate having to delete messages from every device I own on each device individually. Am I missing something?
    Thanks,
    DocT73

    Click "Edit" in the upper left of the Messages app.  Then start clicking each of the messages.  You can scroll the list.  It actually will proceed quite quickly.
