Facebook app on iPhone 4. How to delete private messages?

big_drive

I have the Facebook app on iPhone 4

Was wondering how do I permanently delete messages in private mail?
I've searched but can't seem to see an option for deleting messages, maybe I'm missing something obvious

Can't seem to do it. Which page should be open?

Go into the messages tab & slowly swipe your finger from left to right on the message thread- you'll get an option to archive.

This will clear them from showing on your phone but won't actually delete them - any follow up to the conversation thread will bring up all of the previous messages- as far as I know the only way to delete them is from the full Facebook site, not the mobile.
