Recently due to my own ignorance and the Mrs being away I quickly amounted ~1000 messages in one thread. At which point I think I must have hit a database / memory issue.

TextSecure could not accept any new messages (it straight rejected them) but equally had no memory so I couldnt delete a single message or an entire thread at once.

The only way to resolve the problem was to go into the Settings menu -> Applications -> TextSecure and delete TextSecure's database.

I'd prepose a "max thread length" in the options, most other text programs allow you to set a max length of say 100 messages.
