SMS shows date of 1969 and can't be deleted. Seriously?

[CherylK1]

I had this problem. I was using Go SMS. Even on my factory installed text app had the date 12/31/1969 7:00pm. I went to several forums, I tried everything. Then someone said go the the Go SMS app open the "more" tab and select "delete all". It worked and cleared out all my factory installed app "ghosts" as well.

this is the correct answer to solve this issue for text messages showing 12/31/1969 after deletion. just go in to the main settings for whatever text app you are using even if its the native app and do a delete all.
