I have a iphone 5 on ios 7.
I have a year long text conversation with another iphone (mostly imessage texts) that has numerous attachments (pics/videos of 1,000+). It is taking up too much space and I have already downloading the attachments and exported the conversation to pdf form.
However, I cannot delete the conversation! I delete it by swiping right on the conversation and hitting delete. It will disappear but text messages will be slow as heck. I cannot send any texts after that. So I restart the iphone and the text message shows back up!
Other things I have tried are the following (btw i have looked at the memory usage and it never changes thus the conversation isnt actually deleting):
1. delete all contents in the conversation but the conversation stays and is empty. same result
2. tried both ways and syncd to itunes. same result.
3. tried deleting text and having the other user send a text. the text is received but the conversation comes back after being restarted.
4. icloud has not been used as a backup. i simply use it as a email and music source, thus the 5gb is almost used up and never has been used as a backup. but i still turned it off as a backup just in case.
i have not tried to delete my icloud account tho (do not want email/music to disappear)
any ideas? the other person deleted their conversation and it worked like a charm. started a whole new conversation and the memory was cleared up (although it took a few minutes to show)
any help would be greatly appreciated
