Have searched this whole site, looked at all my settings etc.....for the life of me I can't figure out how to delete messages from my pm inbox.
I'm pretty computer savvy, so what am I missing??
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hmm, I could only figure out how to delete stuff from sent folder.
I can't figure out how to move messages to a folder either.
I am sure it is something simple...
Under "My Messages" there is "Edit Folders".
Something is wrong..
If you click your "sent" meassages it shows the little check boxes to choose what to delete..
The "in" box is missing that option
Might be an admin setting that needs to be checked.

That's the way the new system works. Even if you delete them, they remain.

Rick, dont worry, it's not you. We installed a plugin for threaded PMs which has removed the ability to delete individual PMs or individual threads. Your only option is to delete your entire inbox.But, you don't have to since there's no limit on the number of messages you can have in your inbox, even though the counter at the bottom says XX of 100.<---- Apparently, that last sentence no longer applies. I'm guessing a board update changed that functionality. Sorry, everyone.
If you really want to delete them you can install the Tapatalk mobile client and delete individual messages there.

It is available for iOS 6. It should work still Rick.

Just emptied my inbox last night and now I notice that all my messages are there but any response I had from others is gone. Makes the threaded PM box quite useless now.

Reached 96, couldn't locate the delete button and wondered what i was missing
Nice to know that there is no limit on the messages in Inbox.
But I just got an email warning me that since I am a Bad Sailor, my Inbox is full and I won't be allowed to get new messages.

I deleted my Sents and gained a few precious inches of space.

If you look at the very bottom of the page of your Inbox, you'll see a place where it says:
Download all Private Messages as:
XML | CSV | Text
Each of those three links will save the msgs into a file on your computer. The first two would be useful if you wanted to view them with a browser or spreadsheet/database (import), and the last would be a large text file containing the main text of all the messages. This appears to be the only way to save your messages before deleting, there is no option for individual message saving. HTH

The strange part is that when you delete them, they stay in the inbox, so what is the software doing?
Does it keep the thread going and delete the individual messages?
I saw this thread and I'm having the same issue:
- How do I delete messages/threads from my INBOX?
- How do I move messages/threads to new folders?
When you use the 'Empty Folder' option at the bottom of your inbox, it deletes the messages, but you will still be able to read them.
