Hello mary1mary,


This page can help out with providing steps for deleting texts: Delete messages on iPhone - Apple Support


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
1. In the Messages list, swipe left on the conversation.
2. Tap Delete.


If that hasn't helped you may try forcing the Messages app to close, and relaunch it to try again: Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support


Restarting the device can also help to give things a quick refresh: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


Cheers.
