How delete messages that appear in Phone Link but are not on my phone?

douglasbaker4 - I replied from my phone and didn't see some of the messages in the thread. It seems to me that you are trying to see the image of your phone on your WIN computer so you can delete messages. I don't do this. I don't use the option to link the phone screen to the WIN computer using Phone Link. I just perform the deletes as I outlined in a previous post on this forum.

People that see messages in WIN Phone Link app but not on their phone's Phone Link app probably aren't using the Google Messages app, which allows you to see the spam and archived messages and delete them. I do not have that problem. I can delete all messages and they don't appear in my WIN Phone Link app.

I hope that clears things up. Sorry for any confusion.

After reading a great number of posts on this topic, I will make the following and final observation:

So much seems to depend on the phone make and model and the laptop/PC in use. Additionally, the question has to do with the messaging software in use. The Google app for this may be more flexible than the Windows app, but the question started, so far as I can tell, about the use of the app as it was when it was found on the MS app store. I'm using the Windows app on an HP laptop running WIN 11 and linking wasn't any obvious problem until I tried to do something as simple as deleting a message.

For those in my situation, as best as I can tell, the messages will be held for about 30 days and the drop off which makes me think that they're being held an interim memory space that has been restricted for some program design reasons. I will use what I can and make changes if they seem necessary.

My best to all.

The Google app for messaging is on the phone. The Windows app (Phone Link) is on the computer. The Windows app can create and receive messages. It can't delete them, unless someone knows a trick I don't. The Google App is used to send, receive and delete messages.

Your phone came with a messaging app. Mine has the Samsung app by default but I downloaded the Google app because it had more features. It also works better with the Windows app (Phone Link) than the Samsung app. Both of mine exist at the same time on my phone but Google is the default

Geeeezzzze,

None of this suggestion works!

agreed!
