Hi sairasilva

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community !


Re: "Auto delete old conversation. I put it on but now I want to take it off how do I do that?"


Seems this setting below is what you changed ... you can take a look and make a change:

Automatically delete old messages

You can delete messages and attachments that are older than 30 days or a year old, on an ongoing basis.

Go to Settings  > Messages.

Scroll down, tap Keep Messages (below Message History), then choose an option.

Important: If you choose an option other than Forever, your conversations (including all attachments) are automatically removed after the specified time period elapses.


Above is from Apple Support's article: Delete messages and attachments on iPhone - Apple Support

If needed: You can restore messages you deleted for up to 30 days.
