Psycho, can you find the folder where the text files are saved using file explorer and select blocks of them at a time and delete them in groups until you have cleared them all ?

I'll try this again. lolPsycho, can you locate the folder where the texts are stored using file explorer and select blocks of them and delete them in small groups until they are cleared?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think they are stored in the phone's database.

4MB of messages, all in memory-mapped files, will take a while with a, what, 528mHz processor, to delete, which includes re-doing the virtual database indexes and "databases".

Fact of life. May as well complain because the sun rises in the East instead of in the North.
