Messages is pretty easy, Select the conversation you want to delete and do VO Shift M for the context menu. You will then see the delete option. As for notifications, do VO O for the notification and widgets. Interact with notifications and VO right to the one you want, do VO shift space and you can select your option that you want to do.
