How can i delete the msg history from the contact history on galaxy note9?

[Android Central Question]

So when I click on a contact I scroll down to the bottom of the information I have for them and there is a tab that says "History"

Upon clicking on it you can see I preview of msgs u have sent and received eve. If u already deleted the messages for your messages

If you've deleted all messages AND calls to/from that Contact, ONLY then, will there be no History! History is Calls and Messages!!!

Using the Samsung contacts app, I was able to press and hold to select line items in contact history, at the bottom of the contact's details and delete them.

I was also surprised to see this SMS and calls history with SMS previews even for deleted SMSs. Go to Phone > Recent > click contact icon. There is History panel below contact details. I have not found a way to clear this log. This is a major issue because when you delete stuff, you want it to remain deleted and not pop up somewhere unexpectedly.

Hmmm... I gave up on Messenger long ago and use Textra. When I go to contacts, click on a contact, scroll down to History, click on it, all I get are phone calls. Dates, Times, incoming or outgoing and emails headers incoming or outgoing.
