You can always delete them all with a simple Menu -> Tools -> Clear "Text Messages" (the name can vary slightly depending on carrier"

I highly suggest cleaning out your text messages. After about 20,000 I couldn't use the tab in 3DTF (look 20 to 30 seconds to load) and after 28,000 ish my messaging program itself would freeze on me! I just never took the time to clean them out. Luckily, I had a new Pro (referbished I mean) coming because my keyboard stopped working and am on a new one now. I have about 2000 on it so far but am trying to think of ways to delete all that are like over a day old... I use SyncMate and have been playing with the texting options on that but nothing yet...

I was told a while back that my best bet would be to go under options and unthread my messages, soft reset to put that into effect, select all after a certain time, delete, then thread the messages again. It is long winded but sounds fool proof...

Hope this helps,
Brian
