Text messages sending to a deleted number

[VJOS]

I don't know if anyone experienced this before.

I'm using the stock SMS app of Samsung Galaxy S4. Last night, I sent my friend a simple text message. I typed her name in the name field and composed the message.

This morning, I checked my Messages and saw that my text message last night was sent to a phone number that was not saved in my phonebook, and my friend didn't get my message. I'm so confused as to how I could accidentally send that message to that number when I didn't even type it.

It turns out that number was my friend's OLD phone number. However, I deleted her old phone number so many months ago. It's not saved in any of my accounts in my phone. It's not in my logs.

Anyone ever experienced something like this?

I had several text messages saved on my phone for several months. I decided not to send them a few months later 12 test messages some how got sent over a 2 day period.
