Ramfins59 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 It seems that currently there is no way to delete old PM's since the Forum changeover. We can only store just so many PM's before "the mailbox is full" and then we can't receive new PM's. It was easy to delete them in the "old" setup. I understand that Dave Ambrose is looking into this problem and we'll hopefully be advised of a "fix" soon.
Harry P. Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I've received several PMs from frustrated members who can't figure out how to clear their in-box. Count me in as one of them. I can't see any way of deleting old messages. Dave thinks it's a software glitch. Which is ironic, seeing as how this was supposed to be an "upgrade" over the previous version, where deleting PMS was easy to do!
JollySipper Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I've just been clicking "message" in the top right of the conversation....... a small menu drops down, then click "leave conversation"........ Easy Peasy............... What I can't figure out is how to delete notifications after you've read them.
Jantrix Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Click the little cog symbol and then click "empty" from the menu.
Ramfins59 Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 Rob, I don't see a little "cog" symbol anywhere on my screen.

vettecote Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Notifications I don't know. But messages, click messages(envelope at the top of page), click "go to inbox", to the left you see "My Conversations", click the cog...click empty! Messages gone!...Joe
Ramfins59 Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 OK Joe (Vettecote)... Now I can see the "cog"...... but does this delete ALL of the messages?? Or just each individual message? There are some messages and/or conversations that I don't want to delete just yet.
b-body fan Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 If you don't want to delete them all, open the ones you do. Hit leave conversation. It will delete that complete thread.

Ramfins59 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 Thank you Michael Stevenson. I just got done deleting all of my old messages and now am down to only 16% used space.
Dave Ambrose Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Somehow, I would have never conflated "Leave Conversation" with Delete.Thanks for the tip!

Here's how it works on my iPad (I don't get a cogwheel) to delete individual conversations, one at a time.Open the PM envelope at the top of the pageYou'll get a drop-down inbox list; click on any one and you'll get a page with that thread, plus your inbox on the left, and a Message button to the right on the header.Go to your inbox on the left and click on any individual thread you want to delete there, and click on the Message button; it will drop down a window that asks "Leave conversation?" Click on that and you'll get a pop-up box that asks if you're sure about that, so just click yes. Repeat for any individual messages. Edited September 3, 2015 by sjordan2
