Text messages on Apple Watch 4 don't delete

Is this a glitch? Text messages remain on Apple Watch after deleting them on iPhone.

Thank you.

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 5

That is the way it works.

You must delete them from you watch separately.

Why are messages deleted from my iPhone still on my Apple Watch? Why are messages deleted from my iPhone still showing up on my Apple Watch? Even when deleted, strings of same texts show as unread return from people even when it had been deleted (trash). Aggravating.
