I have an SE. If I want to delete texts from my dad, for instance, I'll push the text icon and go under the heading "known senders." When I get in there, I push the icon at the top of the screen that has "..." on it. Then I see 3 possibilities come up: "select messages, edit PINs, or edit name and photo." Then I press "select messages." After that, a series of circles will show up next to each name. I select the circle next to "dad." Then I'll see "delete" at the bottom of the screen and I press it. That will get rid of the texts from my dad.
