I have a 5S and I've used the same backups for the last 4 years and thus all my text messages have been saved, which amounts to a whopping 5 GB.

So I tried to delete them, but whenever i delete a bunch of texts, my messages app just freezes and I can't send or receive texts and when I close out the app and reopen it, it deletes all of my texts and i still can't send anything. So my question is how should I go about clearing all my texts since my phone won't seem to let me do that? I still want to keep all my other data from my apps
