Hi, netdriver:

Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy your visits here.

I deleted your e-mail address because folks can answer you in this thread (plus, our rules don't allow for personal e-mail addresses). We like to make sure e-mail addresses are not in the open for spam bots to see/exploit...

On your issue: to delete a message. There are two ways you can delete, either the whole message conversation from a particular person or just one single text within the conversation.

To delete a whole message - when you are at the main message screen, swipe to the left on the conversation you wish to delete, then delete it. Like this:

To delete a single text within a conversation, see this:

Hopefully, that'll help. Holler back if it doesn't and we'll take another shot at it.

Marilyn
