Hello parivashfromwestbury,



Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. We see you want to delete texts sent to yourself. We can help.


Essentially, you would delete the message just as you would any other text message. Below is how to do that.


Delete messages on iPhone - Apple Support


"In the Messages app, you can delete messages and entire conversations from your iPhone.


With Messages in iCloud, anything you delete from iPhone is also deleted from your other Apple devices where Messages in iCloud is turned on.


Deleting messages changes only your own Messages conversations, not those of your recipients.

Tip: Use Undo Send to retract a message you sent accidentally.


Delete a message

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

Delete a conversation

In the Messages list, swipe left on the conversation, then tap the Delete button"


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
