deleting text messages and photos on razr

my razr cell phone's text message inbox was full. every time i opened the phone, it said "messages full".

i could not figure out how to delete old messages. same with old photos. delete wasn't on any menu that i could find, not even settings.

i googled "razr delete messages". i read post after post and didn't know what they were talking about--tech talk way over my head, cables, etc. i kept reading and saw a mention of an "options key". i didn't know what that was. it inspired me to explore my phone.

i figured out in a blinding stroke of insight is that the middle key (-) is has multiple functions. from the main screen, it lets you select a menu, say "messages" or "multimedia". once you get to a message or photo you want to delete, press the middle key again. it becomes the options key!

so to delete text messages, from the main screen, press the middle key, scroll to Messages, select, scroll to Message Inbox, select, scroll to a message you want to delete, press Read.

now click the middle key again. Delete is the first option. press Select.

you've just deleted your first text message!
