How to Delete All Previous Messages on Blackberry

The BlackBerry, developed by Research in Motion, is a smart phone with numerous capabilities such as 3G wireless Internet, email and SMS and MMS messaging. If you're frequently texting, then those messages can build up rather quickly, creating a long, bogged down text message list. Luckily, Research in Motion created a simple way to delete all messages prior to a certain date on all of their BlackBerry smart phones, including the touch screen.

Instructions

1. Click on the "Messages" icon from the home screen to open up a list of your SMS and MMS messages. If you're using the touch screen model, tap on the "Messages" icon.

2. Highlight the date from which you'd like to delete all prior messages. Highlight the date with the trackball for non-touch screen phones or tap on the date with your finger on a touch screen model.

3. Click on the BlackBerry menu button. The button appears the same on every BlackBerry phone, featuring the BlackBerry logo. Clicking the menu button opens a pop-up menu list.

4. Click or tap on the "delete prior" options. This opens a confirmation box.

5. Confirm that you'd like to delete all prior messages by clicking or tapping on "Delete."
