Open your call log. Tap on the three vertical dots at the top right corner or tap on more. Select Delete on the drop down that appears. The phone will give you options on which logs to delete; select them and tap delete.

Open your device's Phone app. Tap Recents. You'll see one or more of these icons next to each call in your list: Missed calls (incoming) (red) Calls you answered (incoming) (blue) Calls you made (outgoing) (green).

I have done all but my phone will not delete phone log or log new calls.

Rudy Toth

Community Answer

Try reading your phone's help files and type in the same dilemma you have here try "How to delete phone logs?" If it doesn't show up then try to search online for it, including your phone make/model number.

Question

I have an Android tcl a1 and have looked on line and looked at the manual, read all your suggestions. you are ignoring legitimate questions. We have no delete, no logs, software is updated, etc.

Community Answer

Mostly, all phones whether Android or some old devices gives you the option to delete call logs and messages. But the challenging part here is where to find it. Some are on the app's settings. Either way since you've mention that you are on android device, try to clear data on the said application.

In Applications Manager, select Phone. Clear the cache and data for that app. Then reboot the phone. This should fix that issue.

My Samsung Galaxy S5 says "Recent" not "Log"! I can delete those recent calls, but not those that have built up when my phone has been turned off. What can I do, so that my call box is not full?

Try force restarting your phone in order for ‘Log’ to show up instead of ‘Recent’.

No you cannot. Unfortunately, the app's home screen page does not have a delete feature to delete individual numbers or call history.
