Why do I have to hit delete 3 times to delete something?

[Kerrygerakiteys]

Im sick of doing this. Its like my phone is telling me, are you sure you want to delete? Are you really sure you want to delete? It's so annoying. Is there a way to stop this from happening, or 2 times maximum. I have having to hit the delete button 3 times to delete 1 thing

What are you trying to delete? And from where? There's like 50 different things and ways to delete... anything, so please be a little more specific.

An app, a file, a phone number, a contact, etc., etc...?

Anything really. But let's just say, an sms message for instance. They seem to be the most annoying. Emails are kinda similar. You hit delete on them and they go to deleted files. But deleting those, you need to hit delete two more times

Hi, welcome to AC!

Let's say you have an sms you want to delete. You select the message and a little delete box appears up on the top right of your phone.you press that delete button and it asks you what messages in the thread you want to delete, so you pick the message and then hit the delete button that appears at bottom of screen. It then asks you if you want to delete these messages. Is there away to stop getting these remindoers

Are you using Samsung's apps for text and emails?

I use Textra for SMS, and it is a two-click function. After highlighting the text to delete, you click on the trash can icon, which then "opens" it, and then you click again to close it, deleting that message.

For emails, I use the BlackBerry Hub+ Inbox, and deleting is just a swipe function. But my email is Exchange-based, so it automatically goes to the Deleted items folder. I clean that out when I think about it when I check the same account on my home PC. I don't sync the Deleted items folder on my phone.

Yes I am using the standard samsung app that came with phone. So I can get another from app store that might be much better?
