how to delete all texts on the phone?

To be more precise, I recently had my S4 stolen and bought the Galaxy Note edge. the stock messaging app asked if is wanted to import my texts from the galaxy s4 to my edge and I thought I would take advantage of this to retrieve some lost contacts. This was a huge mistake as I now have 27K "unread texts" and the phone gets really laggy whenever I try to delete old threads. Is there any way to just wipe all the texts from my phone?

27K?? Jesus!! Honestly, you are just better off doing a hard reset.

Wow! Try downloading Textra and the messages will be imported there. I had about 5k on my S5 that came through and slammed my Note 4 so badly the stock Messages apps was crashing. I downloaded Textra and let it optimize then proceeded on from there. No texts deleted and kissed that sorry stock messaging app goodbye.

From what he is saying though, he can barely use the phone. I can imagine that downloading an app and utilizing it might be eternal.

I'm still endlessly impressed that he has 27 THOUSAND text messages. I second the factory reset.
