The glide builder where you built the app. When viewing it in the builder, you can long click/press on a message and then it will open up to allow you to select all messages that you want to delete. ---

You are inside the builder, correct? Open the chat tab, then click on a message, but click and hold for a few seconds. Your screen should look like this where you can select messages and then click on the delete button. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/9/b935c6d12dddc78257f8d59dd1018cf6a639a36a.png) ---

I did that already. And I can’t still delete the messages maybe it’s a problem from somewhere else. ![IMG_3715](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/2/829ed9a841fb992e5507f55d5ffcff5b24affa8e.jpeg) ---

OK, I just tried to delete some of my messages and I see what you mean now. You can select the messages to delete, click on the Delete button, and click on Delete in the confirmation, but nothing happens. This looks like a bug. I’ll pass this along to the team. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/a/0a7999347472bb09b5823e989e1d60bce0af0d55.png) ---
