OTHER in text messaging

[vsanto73]

When I go to type a persons name to text message them, as soon as I type the first letter for example T, it shows people's numbers and email address a who start with T but some of these I've deleted from my phone. they are all classified as OTHER number or OTHER email. How can I delete or clear this cache without having to do a full restore?

To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to delete the cached items you're referring to unless you restore your device as new.

I haven't been able to find a way to delete the cached items either.

You may not as others have already said to be able to clear cache but can you not delete the "Other" numbers or emails? Also instead when you hit the + to open up your list and instead of trying a search, What shows up when you scroll on your list which brings me back to asking about why you cannot delete what comes up as "Other"?

U can delete ur cache if you are jailbroken, But not stock.

I've never seen this in text messaging, but it shows up all the time when I go to compose an email. Usually the "other" that are in my recents but I don't have in my contacts will have a blue circle with a chevron in it. Tap on the circle and it gives an option to delete from recents. Does this work for your text messages?

Enter any given letter or symbol and a list I recents will come up, click I "i" icon and delete that form recents
