Deleting messages is a great way to declutter your digital life, but did you know that it's also possible to delete messages on your Mac? In this article, we'll walk you through the simple steps to delete SMS messages and conversations on your Mac.

Deleting SMS Messages on Your Mac

To delete SMS messages on your Mac, follow these steps:

Step 1: Select a message you want to delete by right-clicking on it (the Ctrl + Click combination on the touchpad).

Step 2: Choose the Delete conversation option and then confirm it by hitting the Delete button.

This will delete the entire message thread and whatever it contains. If you want to delete a specific message within a conversation thread, right-click on the message itself and select Delete.

Deleting Conversations on Your Mac

To delete an entire conversation without deleting all messages within that conversation, follow these steps:

Step 1: Select a message by clicking on it.

Step 2: Choose the Edit tab from the menu.

Additional Tips for Deleting Mail on Your Mac

By default, Mail downloads attachments when it retrieves a message from the server. To prevent this, go to Mail > Settings > Accounts and click on an account. Under the 'Erase deleted messages' menu, choose an option.

You can also choose how often you want to erase junk messages by clicking on the menu beneath 'Erase junk messages:' and selecting an option.

By following these simple steps, you'll be able to delete messages and conversations on your Mac with ease, keeping your digital life organized and clutter-free.
