cannot delete text message

[bytor]

I have looked through the forum until my eyes hurt to find a solution, so I apologize if this has been covered before. Here's the problem:

I had sent a text message a few days ago and it failed. So, I resent it and it still failed, so I deleted it. Gone, right? Wrong. Now, I get a notification on the top bar that says "text message not sent" and when you tap on it to see the text message, an error message box pops up and says "message not available". So then I press the clear button and the notification goes away. Gone right? Wrong. The failed message stays gone until you open the text messaging menu and bang, the error message comes back. How do I get rid of this? It's not particularly irritating, but it does leave an icon on the notification bar constantly, why?

There have been a number of people experience this issue. There seems to be some sort of basic problem, but I don't know if anyone has found a repeatable method to produce this problem.

As far as I know the only way to get rid of the message is to restore factory defaults on your device. There are a number of threads here that describe the processing for completing this.
