Hi T_CCon,

Welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) community.


Seems one way to keep a few messages would be to make screen shots of just those messages. How to: Take a screenshot on your iPhone


Then you could simply delete the whole conversation.

says: In the Messages list, swipe left on the conversation,

then tap 


All the best :-)
