Purge old Text Txt / SMS Messages?

Is there any easy / free way to purge old SMS / Text messages?

I'm not looking for anything fancy. I would be thrilled to just delete them all, completely flush out the database on a regular basis to prevent sluggishness.

Currently, they only really get purged whenever I decide to install a new ROM posted in the upgrade section. However, even though I use Sashimi, there are still some manual customizations that I just don't feel like doing every week. Hence, an easy way to purge the SMS database without hard reseting or installing a new ROM would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I use a program that backs them up to e-mail, and it delete's them all after I back them up

Thank you.

Honestly, I don't care much about backing them up though. Is there not a simpler way to just purge the database?

Re: Purge old Text Txt / SMS Messages?

Maybe I'm missing something, but why not just take a minute or two every couple of days and select all of them and delete? I personally use Ms myphone and you can go in and click whichever ones you want to delete or archive ones you want to keep, but IMO, unless I'm missing something (it is early so I'm a little slow right now...) I would just recommend going in, selecting all if you want to delete all, and just delete them from inbox and sent and deleted.

Re: Purge old Text Txt / SMS Messages?

if u just want them mass deleted and NOT backed-up why not just hit menu>tools>clear sms.. then do menu>tools>empty deleted items..

no more texts anywhere in your device.. takes seconds
