Hi Gordon, are you reading messages in the messages app or from the notifications?
If from where the phone says messages, then once opened if it's showing the table of messages, in the upper left should be an edit button, double tap, and then the messages table is still there, and on the far left of the message and slightly up is a delete button. double tap, and then on the far right is a confirm delete button, they are kind of small though. Now if you open messages and it plops you into a message then you have to find the back button on the left upper part of the phone. I don't know if i-pad or i-pod is a different layout because I only have an i-phone 3 gs. I've not tried the technique described of swiping left or right to delete. I don't do that stuff so well. When it comes to that my fingers are like a bull in a china shop. Probably to long or something. Now if you are reading stuff out of notifications, thats a different ball game and I don't have that mastered so well either yet. But am thinking you are talking about the messages itself if I am understanding correctly. Also I have my phone locked in in port rate mode, that would make a difference too I'm sure as to layout.
