Hi Bobbyg13,


For help with deleting a message, make sure it wasn't accidentally pinned and test the steps below found in the article here: Delete and recover messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


"Delete a conversation

  1. Touch and hold the conversation to open an options menu.
  2. Tap Delete .
  3. Tap Delete once more to confirm.


As long as the conversation isn't pinned, you can also swipe left over the conversation, tap Delete, then tap Delete again to confirm.


To delete more than one conversation, open Messages and tap Edit in the upper-left corner. Tap Select Messages, then tap the circle next to the conversations and tap Delete in the bottom-right corner."


If the issue continues, test a normal restart of your iPhone and try again. Restart your iPhone - Apple Support



Best!
