Messages using 5GB memory, but I deleted them all

I want to delete some memory from my iPhone and I saw that my messages use 5GB from the 16GB, so I deleted all my messages.
But when I look now, there's still 5GB memory for messages.
When I go to settings - general - usages - messages, there's: messages (preserved): 5.5GB.
How can I delete this memory?
Thanks!

Anyone?

  • Itunes still says i have photos but i deleted them all

    i was clearing my storage space so i deleted all my photos n added them to my laptop but itunes still says that i have all the photos on my iphone and i cant use the storage space. how to i get my laptop to know that i deleted photos so i can use storage for other stuff.

    Photos in iCloud (My Photo Stream and any Shared Photo Streams) count, so if you still have those in the Photos app you'd have to eliminate them to reduce further.  Also, the "Recently Deleted" category still counts, so if you deleted photos and there are some still in this "recycle bin" then you have to delete them from that folder to clear them out.
    Still, many users seem to have this issue after deleting all sources of photos and videos.  The only thing I've seen that helps is to backup, restore, and reload the backup.
    Just curious, are you using "iCloud Photo Library (Beta)" by any chance?  Just curious if that might be related to this issue.

  • I have selected leave messages on web browser until i delete them but how do i read old ones again

    I had a problem with Windows 7 and had to restore a system image taken on 01 Nov 2014. This means I have lost all emails received by Thunderbird since then. I had selected 'Leave messages on the server until I delete them' so how do I now read them again and get November's messages back.

    Actually Jetpacks come with texting. Never have understood why.  But the number you received most likely belonged to someone else 3-6 months ago.
    You will need to call tech support to help you get into the settings to block them.

  • I cannot backup because no more storage is displayed when the storage statistics shows Total Storage 5GB and Available Storage 5GB - basically i haven't used any memory but i cannot backup! please help

    i cannot backup my iphone4s because no more storage is displayed when the storage statistics shows Total Storage 5GB and Available Storage 5GB - basically i haven't used any memory but i cannot backup! please help. i am only trying to back up my notes and contacts. that's it. and i don't think it will use up 5GB

    On your iPhone, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage.  There you should be able to see how much of your used storage is allocated to different things (ex., iphone backup, ipad backup, mail).  From there you should be able to figure out what is going on.

    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:
    METHOD ONE:
    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!  METHOD TWO:
    Backup your device in iTunes and then to iCloud
    Go to Settings>iCloud and toggle Documents & Data to OFF
    Then do a 2nd backup to iTunes and iCloud
    Then restore the device from iCloud and the message attachments should be gone, turn Documents & Data back on again in the settings
    PLEASE NOTE: Method two is a much longer process but some users may feel more comfortable with this method.
    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!
    P.P.S You could also just go through every single conversation and delete the attachments one by one, but if you have hundreds or thousands of attachments, this will take a VERY LONG TIME!!!

  • When I import photos taken from my Ipod Touch 4 to My Mac Desktop, I click delete photos on ipod, but they do not delete. Is the only way to delete them individually (I have 1,400 photos!) or is there a way to delete them all in one go?

    I realise you can you can delete them on your ipod slowly as you have to click on each one, and you can restore your ipod, but surely there is a way to get around this?

    Thanks If anyone can help me.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

  • How can I delete songs stored in the Cloud but without deleting them from my mac?

    How can I delete songs stored in the Cloud but without deleting them from my mac?

    You can do it, but you need another library signed in to iTunes match. That second library shouldn't have any local files stored.
    Delete the entry from that second library and it will ask you to confirm that you want to remove the file from the cloud. Confirm that you do.
    Now, as long as you don't delete the file from your main library it will have an iCloud status of "removed" and won't be in the cloud or try add it again.
    However, if you sign out of match on that computer and then sign in again it will then re-add it to the cloud, so this isn't a method to use if you tend to turn match on and off much.
    I have had the Beatles Mono albums in my main library, but not in the cloud, for a while now without any problems.

    Apple's Mail application can use either IMAP or POP. In fact Gmail can be set either way.

  • I can find duplicates in my itunes library but can't figure out how to delete them all at once

    I can select all my duplicates in my itunes library but then can't figure out how to delete them all en masse?

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

  • I am trying to delete duplicate content in my iTunes library. I have stopped the download and I can see them on VIEW Displaying Duplicates, but cannot delete them with the Delete button. Can anyone assist?

    I am trying to delete duplicate content in my iTunes library. I have stopped the download and I can see them on VIEW>Displaying Duplicates, but cannot delete them with the Delete button. Can anyone assist?

    If you've paused the download (they are partially greyed out on the duplicates screen ?) then you will need to delete them from download window, you can't (as far as I know) delete partially downloaded items from that screen. When you have items downloading, or downloads that are paused, you should have a downward pointing arrow at the top right of the iTunes screen
    If you click that arrow you should get a popup window with the items that are downloading/paused - and you should be able to select and delete them (or resume their download) from there.

  • I keep receiving emails on my ipad that don't display a message, don't enable me to delete them, and are dated 12/31/69.  What is up with this?

    I keep receiving emails (about 10 - 14) on my iPad that have no message, don't allow me to delete them in the same way as the other messages I want deleted are deleted, and are dated 12/31/69.  Does anyone have this problem?  How can I stop the messages?  I called Apple Support and they told me iCloud was having a problem.  Help!

    Hi Kappy,
    I've checked your account, and it looks like you have multiple subscriptions. You have two for ExportPDF (one renewing in February, and the other in April). You also have an Adobe PDF Pack subscription, which is the one that renews in March.
    Since you have Adobe PDF Pack, you don't need ExportPDF. Would you like me to cancel both of your ExportPDF subscriptions for you?
    Best,
    Sara
