Re: "How do I delete multiple text messages at one time?"
Seems we can either delete a single message, or, a whole conversation, at a time.

"To delete a message from your device,
Control-click the message, then choose Delete from the shortcut menu.
Or select the message and choose Edit > Delete from the menu bar.
To delete a conversation from your device,
Control-click the conversation in the sidebar,
then choose Delete Conversation from the shortcut menu.
Click Delete to confirm".
