In the Messages app, you can delete messages and entire conversations from your iPhone.

Steps:
– Touch and hold a message bubble, then tap More.
– Select the message bubbles you want to delete, then tap the Delete button.
– In the Messages list, swipe left on the conversation, then tap the Delete button.
