Remotely delete messages on ONE device

I would like to only delete messages from one device, remotely. For example, if my ipad was left somewhere and I needed to erase the messages only, just from the Ipad/device left behind, how is that done.


If it cannot be done, can your techs please come up with a way? The device has nothing on it I want to lose, like pictures, but the messages contain trade secrets. Or maybe I don't want a complete factory reset because it would be super noticeable on the other end when the Ipad starts flashing HI on the set up screen in 30 languages.

iPad, iPadOS 15

Thank you for reminding me this wasn't Apple and that it was only a forum and thank you again for the two more reminders that everyone on here isn't a tech for Apple and that everyone doesn't do features for Apple because this is only a forum for which Apple does not monitor and most of the people on here don't work for Apple besides the few who sometimes do but since this isn't Apple you're still not talking to Apple.


I appreciate your eloquent and passionate response.
