Hello Vicki,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

I understand from your post that you would like to delete a message that you have already sent. Deleting a message only removes it from your iPhone message conversation and will not remove it from the sender's phone. The following article will provide you with the necessary steps to delete a sent message:

Delete a message or conversation

When you delete a message or conversation, you can't get it back. So make sure that you save important information from your messages.

To delete a message, follow these steps:

  1. In a message conversation, touch and hold the message bubble that you want to delete, then tap More.
  2. Tap User uploaded file, then tap Delete Message. If you want to delete all messages in the thread tap Delete All, in the upper-left corner. Then tap Delete Conversation.
Best Regards.
