Q: iPhone storage

I lost my 128 GB iPhone 6 and have replaced it with an old 64 GB iPhone 5.  With the limited storage, I am trying to clear space.  I am currently running on iOS 8.4.1 because I do not have enough room for the latest update.  I noticed that messages are taking up 16 GB of space.  The phone hasn't been used in 2 years, but I have since texted on the phone since reactivating it.  I went to messages to have all messages automatically delete after 1 year trying to get rid of the old messages.  This did not to anything, so I went through all the old conversations and tried to delete them manually, but after about 30 minutes they would reappear.  What do I need to do to get rid of the messages from 2013-2014 that I'm not already doing?
