    Hi An Iphone user,

     

    If you are having issues deleting a specific message from an iMessage conversation (not seeing the Trash icon), you may want to double-check that you are following the steps outlined in the following article:

     

    How do I delete a message?

    1. To delete a message, tap and hold the message bubble, then tap More.
    2. Tap Delete All to delete all the messages. Or tap to select the messages you want to delete, then tap  Delete button.

     

    After you delete a message, you can recover it only by restoring from a backup.

     

    Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

     

    Regards,

    - Brenden
