Purge/Save Old Text Messages

Does anybody know if someone has created a program to automatically purge old text messages (ie. delete messages more than 1 week old)? There's no limit on the messages you can have on your phone so after a while it starts to fill up and slow down things. Also if there's something to save messages you don't want to get deleted. Android has this problem too so I'm looking for WM and Android.

Hy,
this developer (www.pocketkai.net) has done a sms backup tool.

[Q] Where are internal SMS messages stored on the HTC EVO?

RE: [Q] Where are internal SMS messages stored on the HTC EVO?
ALSO, are the messages stored in a sequential file or database? IF SO, is there a way to access this file (or database) to copy or repair the existing structure?
I currently have Android 2.1 installed and it appears the SMS messages (or database) has some type of corruption which prohibits SMS BACKUP & RESTORE, or MY BACKUP or LOOKOUT or TITANIUM BACKUP from saving all my sms messages.
The developer of SMS BACKUP & RESTORE reviewed my LOG COLLECTOR file and said there is some corruption which is causing a DISK I/O error, and therefore I cannot save my messages.
ANY SUGGESTIONS on how to:
..(1) save my sms messages,
..(2) repair the potential sms corruption,
..(3) use TITANIUM BACKUP to ATTEMPT a restore of only sms/mms messages?
THANKS IN ADVANCE,

SMS Backup - Alternate way?

Can I backup my SMS and MMS simple by backing up mmssms.db found in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/? The reason I'm asking this is because TB and other SMS takes about 10-15 minutes to just restore.
Also, if I do just backup that file, can I put it into other ROMs (AOSP, TW, etc.) ?

you can read my thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/sms-backup-alternative.4263615/
I use this way to backup SMS and MMS

Does (Google) Messages really delete SMSs ?

I use the app SMS Backup And Restore to backup & restore SMSs.
However when I do a restore I find that even SMSs that I had deleted before making the backup are restored.
I contacted the developer (who by the way replied very promptly) and was told that perhaps the app I use to view/delete SMSs did not really delete the SMSs but was maybe just putting a deleted marker/flag on the SMSs.
I use (Google) Messages to view/delete SMSs.
Can someone shed some light on this. I don't think I'm the only one having this problem.
Is there a way to permanently delete SMSs?
Edit : I have a Moto X Style with Android N

backup voice messages in MMS? non rooted device.

My mother died recently. She had an S21 Ultra and she used to reply to text messages using voice messages. I need a way to backup the SMS and MMS messages and include the voice messages so I can give them to the police. I had a lady that claimed to be a friend of my mother manage to gain POA of my mother and my mother's own voice messages contradict what the lady had sad.
I've contacted devs of some of the SMS backup programs like
SMS Backup & Restore Pro​
SMS Backup & Restore Pro - Apps on Google Play
A simple app to back up and restore SMS & MMS messages and call logs.
play.google.com
and most say that their software will not backup voice messages.
Does anyone know if any software that will work on Samsing's Android 11 and fully preserve the MMS messages including the amr files, so I can still have a record with context of all the messages?
