    Only restoring the phone as new (without using a backup) will clear the messages cache, though over time these may get pushed out as the cache fills to maximum size.

    but this means ill have to re enter all my contacts and passwords. i store all my invoices on my phone via an invoice app. restoring from new would mean i would lose all that info which i cant afford to do. thanks for the help tho. maybe ill just have to ride it out till the cache clears out.
