my text wont go thru because the file is too large but it wont let me delete the text and start over.

I tried sending a text to my son with 4 pictures and a short video but it says the file is too large and it won’t send. I’ve tried to delete it so I can send in separate texts but I can not get it to delete. How can I delete this text so I can start over? I tried shutting my phone off and back on.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 15

Hello Frustratedwife19! Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.


We understand that you’re unable to delete a message in iMessages, which is failing to send. We'd like to look into this with you to see how we can help. 


Apple provides the following guidance for deleting messages on iPhone: 


  1. Touch and hold a message bubble, then tap More.
  2. Select the message bubbles you want to delete, then tap the Delete button.

Make it a great day!
