I am seeing the same thing. In my Usage my phone is showing that I have 12GB of messages, which seems crazy, so I went in and deleted all my conversations, went back to Usage and it still showed 12GB of saved messages. So I bounced the phone, and most of the messages reappeared!

Pretty frustrating that there's no easy way to clean up my messages. (easy way to delete convos older than 6 months, or delete all, or keep only 5GB, etc would be nice).
