Text Messages Not Deleting Across Devices

I have an MacBook Pro running Sonoma 14.6.1 and iPhone 15 Pro Max running IOS 17.6.1 When I delete text messages from either device they are not being deleted on the other device. MacBook gives me a message that if I delete the message will be deleted across devices but they are not. If I delete from iPhone they still remain on MacBook.

What are the right settings or fix for this?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.6

Head to your iPhone's "Settings" app.
Press your Apple ID from it top screen.
Tap on "iCloud" > "Manage Storage".
Swipe down and touch "Messages".
Tap the "Disable & Delete" option.
Finally, tap "Delete Messages".

In 30 days, the messages stored in iCloud will be deleted
