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.

    same issue. It seems ridiculous that we cannot delete or hide old messages in PhoneLink. My number of messages shows 99+ while as you know, all of the messages on my S34 Ultra have been deleted. I see a claim that it is not a design flaw. I, along with MANY others beg to differ with that claim. This should have been corrected ages ago...

    I had the same problem. In the messaging app, go to Spam & blocked and clean the messages. At least that was the problem with me. But I agree, the app does handle well all situations.

    We should not have to deal with the same unwanted message in Phone Link more than once. I should be able to do a DELETE ALL somewhere, whether it is on my Phone Link app on my PC or link to windows on my phone. I am using Google Messages.

    When I click a message in my PHONE LINK and then on the 3 dots (...), there is no Delete/Trash.

    I have never been able to delete messages in Phone Link. I don't see any option to do that. I've always deleted them on the phone. If they are deleted on the phone but still exist in Phone Link then (ON THE PHONE) you have to go to the Archived or Spam & Blocked section and delete the message. You reach this area (at least on my Samsung S24+) by touching the "face" icon next to the Search magnifying glass, then select Archived or Spam & Blocked and delete any you find there. Then they will be gone in Phone Link.

    The 3 dots (ellipses), shown in the Phone Link message listing will give you Pin, Mute & Hide, nothing else.
