Why won't text message threads delete?

[AC Question]

Text message threads will not delete

I have over 100 conversations on my phone that have not been deleted, and one with tens of thousands of messages. This is really slowing down my phone so I tried deleting all the threads. My phone then says "deleting", but doesn't do so. I even tried clearing the cache and data, but it doesn't actually clear anything. Please help.

Re: Text message threads will not delete

Welcome to Android Central! Does it just freeze at Deleting? Maybe it has to take a long time, since there are so many messages. Try letting it sit for a while, and come back in an hour or so to see if it finished deleting.
