Using iOS 16 or later version:

You can use the "Edit" button on the left upper corner, select the message(s), flag it/them and delete using the button on the right bottom corner.

or

You can slide from right to left on the conversation(s) you want to delete, then use the trash button on the right and confirm on the bottom.
