There’s a long way to delete messages from the list, too—tap Edit, tap –, tap
Delete, and then tap Done—but the finger-swipe method is much more fun.
If that one-touch Delete method makes you a little nervous, you can ask the
iPhone to display a confirmation box before trashing the message forever. See
page 313.
Filing or Deleting Batches of Messages
You can also file or delete a bunch of messages at once. In the message list,
tap Edit. Suddenly, a circle appears beside each message title.
You can tap as many of these circles as you like, scrolling as necessary, adding
a checkmark with each touch.
Finally, when you’ve selected all the messages in question, tap either Delete
or Move. (The number in parentheses shows how many you’ve selected).
If you tap Move, you’re shown the folder list so you can say where you want
them moved. If you tap Delete, the messages disappear.
