Hi Jim, I've just had a go and it's pretty straightforward, go to the 'user control panel' and bring up your private messages/outbox contents, then against the messages and of curse your intended deletion, at the RH end is a 'tick box'. To select an individual post for the next action which may be chosen - tick it's box.
Tick the box to select a message then a drop-down list has delete as an option within it to delete - after the usual confirmation dialog you can simply 'click-it into oblivion'.
Hope this helps, I just tried it and it worked first time without problems. :)

Mrsonchus, thank you. Worked perfectly. Now I just have to remember the next time I want to delete a message :)

I was having problems with my PM box also. It seems I wasn't able to receive any new PMs I guess because it had reached it's max size? Every time I went to my PM, it would say I could not view any messages because it was on 'Hold'. Finally I figured my PMs were maxed out and I finally figured how to delete my PMs.

So if anyone PM'd me and I haven't responded, that is why. :?
