Hey ndimitru24,


We'd be happy to help out. Sounds like you need help deleting conversation threads in the Messages app on your iPhone.


To do so, search for the term again, then look at the list of conversations containing the term and take note of the ones you want to delete. Then just cancel the search to view all your conversations and swipe left on the ones you wanted to delete that contained the specific term you're referring to and tap the trash can icon.

We hope this helps out.


Take care!
