    1^st^ – on phone

    -            tap messages

    -            tap your google account (logo, whatever)

    -            tap spam and blocked (if nothing appears) go to:

    -            archived (maybe hiding here)

    2^nd^ – if no success, then PC and Phone must be linked (oh goodie)

    -            on PC,  on Phone Link option, go to apps & select “Link to Windows”.

    -            Will reveal the phone screen.

    -            Then in upper left corner under APPS, view & tap “ Open Phone Screen”

    -            Actual phone screen appears

    3^rd^ – here an interaction between PC & phone takes place where unwanted messages

    can be deleted

             Having gone through this several times, different screens appear, as such

             some inconsistencies here depending on how the order one chooses Phone Link

             options are selected and using different phone (phone link procedure w/ Samsung S24+)

    >The Google app for this may be more flexible than the Windows app

    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
