    Default Deleting private messages

    Is there a way to selectively delete private messages, rather than emptying the entire folder?

    You can delete single messages if you're using Tapatalk, but not all of them.

    Even emptying the folder doesn't delete them all from view. I've regularly deleted mine and still have 3 pages worth although it still says you have no messages

    I just ran across that as well. In my 'sent' folder I can delete messages by ticking the dialogue box. The InBox does not half the boxes to check. I may have to adjust any communications until all are a couple of weeks old -- then delete the contents of the entire folder. Sounds like an itty bitty bug.

    It is a weird system indeed.

    Here's what I did because I was at the limit. You can download all the messages - (those sent and in the 'In Box" - ) to a simple text file. It's a pain - but if you do have to look anything up in the text document you can do a simple search. If you want more comprehensive searching you can copy from the text file into a Word doc. Anyway - it worked well.
