I have reenabled phone link after not using it for many months. I now have two text messages in phone link that do not exist on my phone. How do I delete them? Thanks.

If you use Google Messages as default you need to switch to Samsung Messages and also delete from there. Then reselect Google Message as default. I have been doing this on my phone before I even used Phone Link as I also found I sometimes have messages on Samsung Messages that do not appear on Google Messages but that is another issue.
I use Google Messages as my default messages but Phone Link links to Samsung Messages on my phone. I delete messages on the phone from Google Messages but they still appear on Samsung Messages and I still see the messages I deleted when I connect to Phone Link on my PC. I have to make Samsung Messages the default to delete the messages already deleted from Google Messages and then reselect Google Messages as the default. Samsung and Google do not speak to each other and Microsoft Phone Link links to Samsung Messages not Google Messages.
I don't bother connecting to the Messages app through Phone Link. I still need to pick up my phone anyway and select Screen Casting so I just use my phone, set Samsung Messages as default, delete the messages then reselect Google Messages as default so I just use my phone. Go back to Phone Link on PC and messages are gone.

In Phone Link on your PC, scroll to the bottom of the message sender icons on the left side. If you have hidden messages you can unhide them, then delete them on your phone. I've not found a way to delete non-spam messages using the Phone Link app on the PC.
These are normal messages from businesses and people I know. Not SPAM. You can only hide the message, not delete it. I want to know how to delete hidden messages
