My son installed IOS 7 recently and he noticed that deleted text messages keep returning. A Google search has not returned any hits. I told him to delete the entire conversation but that didn't help.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I was having the exact same issues except with pictures. If cutting the device off and on doesn't help, he might have to reset the phone (as much as we all hate doing that).

Are the Messages prior to Installing iOS7?

No matter I would check with my carrier first to see if they can clear this up on their end. Make sure they are not those text messages you get from certain companies that you don't realize you signed up for because those can be blocked by your carrier which I had to do. See if you add them to your blocked call list if it will take effect also in texts? Unless they are people you know but just wanted those deleted.

Ok, will do. I believe most of the messages are from his friends. Thanks.

We are having the same issue with ios7 on an iPhone 4. i have given it to my husband and tried deleting old messages… but they keep appearing. I can't find how to delete them from iCloud if thats where they are coming from…. I have deleted, backed up to computer, and turned off and then back on the phone, and it keeps returning them. any help would be appreciated.

I have found that it was because under settings->messages, I had the keep messages for ... Turned on to "forever", I changed it to a year and it allowed me to delete messages and keep them deleted.

Thank you my problem is been fixed just like this user said , go to setting and where messages appear you might have them to keep them 'forever" so change it to either 30 days or one year and the old messages will get deleted !!
