Ability to delete multiple Private Messages in Inbox/Sent folders

esjliv — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 17:21:57 GMT

Hi All,

I see there are tick boxes next to our Inbox and Sent Messages, but when you tick multiple boxes I was wondering if there is a way to "Delete All Selected" option somewhere that I do not know of?

Or, is the only way to delete these messages is by opening EACH ONE up, hit delete, then confirm for each one you want deleted?

Good question. I don't see the tick boxes.

@esjliv ~~you can tap on the tick boxes and delete them by as many as you can select~~. Select them individually to delete them. However there is no limit as to the amount you can store. So I would just leave them there. Stay safe.

@esjliv From what I see, the checkboxes don't do anything. The only way that I know of to delete a private message is to open and then select the delete option.

@Anonymous , @popping I think it was@Jb456 who showed me how to make them appear. They are worthless anyway they do absolutely nothing. And I can't remeber how I did it. Stay safe

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you see these tick boxes on the left side of your INBOX or SENT folders?

Nope. I looked around in settings a bit too. Nothing seemed obvious.

I get the check boxes but they are just placebo. Nothing happens. Maybe it's for work in progress.

lol Yeah that's intuitive! Down in the images area. Makes sense. Thanks. Now I can see how well it doesn't work 🙂

Yup. Works fine for multiple images but not pm's. Oh well. Thanks again gpixel4

A long time ago in a land far away iirc I played with that in images and then maybe I saw it in pm's and found that it didn't work and switched it off and forgot about it. Early onset. What'r'y'gonna do.
