Hello shyamalafromorinda,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you'd like to remove some messages from iCloud. If you use Messages in iCloud, check out this article for information about how it works: Use Messages in iCloud - Apple Support


"Here's how it works

When you turn on Messages in iCloud, your message history is updated automatically on all of your devices. That way, you always have the same view everywhere you use iMessage. When you delete a message, photo, or conversation on one device, it’s removed from all of your devices. And since all of your attachments are stored in iCloud, you can save space on your device."


You would simply need to delete it from your device and it would also be deleted in iCloud.


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
