Hello CrazyGrandma2,



Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to delete attachments in the Messages app on your iPhone. To do this, please follow the deletion steps in the section titled "Share, save, print, copy, or delete a message or attachment" in this Apple resource:



Send and receive photos, videos, and audio messages on iPhone



Cheers!
