Make sure messages are set up in synced devices Set up Messages on Mac - Apple Support and then delete messages Delete messages and conversations in Messages on Mac - Apple Support

Delete messages on iPhone - Apple Support

Delete messages on iPad - Apple Support

Use Messages in iCloud

Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, then turn on Messages (if it’s not already turned on).

Every message you send and receive on your iPad is saved in iCloud. And, when you sign in with the same Apple ID on a new device that also has Messages in iCloud turned on, all your conversations show up there automatically.

Because your messages and any attachments are stored in iCloud, you may have more free space on your iPad when you need it. Message bubbles, whole conversations, and attachments you delete from iPad are also deleted from your other Apple devices (iOS 11.4, iPadOS 13, macOS 10.13.5, or later) where Messages in iCloud is turned on.
