I was looking at some things on my Iphone 4 and saw some old text messages from my ex on the spotlight search. I was in awe because I thought I deleted those messages but apparantly you can see them on the spotlight search :/ lets just say it was a bad breakup and everytime i see his name i get bad memories. I searched on google for hours trying to figure out how to delete text messages on my hard drive but the only thing i found was deleting EVERYTHING on my phone (restoring it) but I really don't want to do that because i have so much music and it would take forever to put it all back. (i've had to go through this awhile ago and it wasn't fun)

so my question is.. is there any way i can delete this text messages permanently? remember- they are on the hard drive. they aren't on the actual text app screen. like i deleted it from the texting app (where the texts are green and gray) i deleted those but the texts are still on the hard drive/spotlight search. anyway i can delete these without deleting everything?

PS: in case you didn't get the clue, it was a bad breakup. meaning i dont want to text him and get the past texts up in order to delete them. i tried deleting his number but they still show up! help!! (link)
We all want to delete the SMS messages we get on our iPhones sometimes. Whether that's because you want to keep your Messages app tidy or because a message had something in it you don't want someone else to see, a simple swipe usually takes care of things.
Before you start camping out in the mile long line at the store you're going to buy your new one from, follow these simple steps to make sure that every trace of you and your life has been wiped.
