How to permanently delete text messages from iPhone storage?

Iphone 5, even when I delete all messages from phone and sync with itunes nothing changes still taking up a large portion of storage. Any help?

I'm just saying here, unless you had a massive & I mean massive amount of texts over years of use then that would make a serious dent in storage. I checked the database for my text messages over 5 years of owning an iPhone, updating, backups etc & it only accounted for 24MB. (November 2008 - June 2013).

Try an app for the computer called PhoneClean if you want to free up some space. Wouldn't deal with texts specifically but should help regain space in other areas. No it does not erase any data & also is free.

Thanks for not answering the question.

  • Within an iphone app can you delete a user permanently? When making an iphone app, and you need to ban a user, is it possible to ban them permanently? Like via their iPhone ID or something like that? There's a person that is making an app and one of his problems is that he can't really ban anyone, he says, because they can easily make a new account.
  • PERMANENTLY delete apps off iphone 4? So i went to the purchases list in itunes store and deleted all the ones that i didn't want but when i look at how much space all my apps are taking up it is still up to 6.2 GB of room. I only have about 6 apps on my phone now that i actually use. So i want all that room back. I can still see them on my phone apps when you can check or uncheck mark them.
