How do I delete multiple text messages at one time?

Rather than deleting one text message at a time, I would like to delete all my text messages at once. How do I do that?

Seems we can either delete a single message, or, a whole conversation, at a time.

Use Messages on your Mac - Apple Support

says:

"To delete a message from your device,

Control-click the message, then choose Delete from the shortcut menu.

Or select the message and choose Edit > Delete from the menu bar.


To delete a conversation from your device,

Control-click the conversation in the sidebar,

then choose Delete Conversation from the shortcut menu.

Click Delete to confirm".
