Text messages do take up space, so deleting them would fee up space. However text messages are also tiny the space they use, You would have to delete about 25,000 text messages to free the space of about one average mp3 song.

To free up 1MB on your phone (not GB) you would need to delete 6000+ messages!

Yes, though years worth of texts don't take up that much room. A better bet to free up space would be to clear caches, delete media, apps, etc
