In Google Messages I only want to remove a couple of messages, not the entire chat. Long press doesn't seem to give me delete on my phone. Is that something only newer versions have?

My subscription page lists a bunch of apps I cancelled ages ago. I'd like that list cleaned up. Can they be removed, or do they stay forever?

Trying to remove a folder from the terminal and rmdir says directory not empty. I want the folder and everything in it gone. What's the right command, and is there a safe way to double check before I run it?

I have an old Apple ID I don't use anymore and want it gone, not just signed out. Worried about photos and purchases tied to it. What actually happens when you delete one?

The Library tab is full of test images I made. I can open them but there's no delete button I can see. Do they only go if I delete the chat they came from?

Typing anything in chrome brings up stuff I searched weeks ago. I'd like those gone and ideally not saved again.

Selling my old laptop and want personal files gone for good, not just emptied from the recycle bin. It has an SSD. Is a factory reset enough or do I need a wiping tool?

rmdir says the directory is not empty and del only removes the files, leaving all the subfolders behind. Need one command for a script.

I've got about 3000 old promo emails in Gmail and selecting them 50 at a time is painful. Is there a select-everything option I'm not seeing, on desktop or the app?

Giving away an old external drive that had tax documents and passport scans on it. From what I've read, deleting and emptying the bin isn't enough. What's a simple way to make the files unrecoverable?
