This is indeed an issue with the current software and needs a fix from the phpBB developers.
Chadmc90 wrote already in one of the other forums:
This is actually a problem in the update. I can't fix this particular issue until phpBB devs release a hotfix. I will keep an eye out on the forums, but until then, if you need to delete a message, you will have to manually "view" each message and click the "delete" button on each.
The new release candidates have a fix in place for this (3.2.10-RC1, 3.3.1-RC1), but I can understand chadmc90 wants to wait installing a new version until these releases are no longer 'release candidates', as they might introduce other issues.
Thanks for reading. Feel free to comment.

Not trying to be an ass, but why are you guys so determined to delete your private messages?
You guys know that when your inboxes reach full capacity, the oldest message gets deleted on it's own to make room for the newest one, right? My inbox has been full for almost two years now and I've never emptied it once.

I will be honest, I did not realise that thank you for sharing.
I can't just snap my fingers and make this fix go away. This is a php dev issue. When they release a new, stable version of the software, I will update when I can get time. Until then, as bondagefreak said, just let the system delete for you.

I didn't realise that the system would do that automatically until bondagefreak said about it. I am cool to do that
[mention]tarkin[/mention] we could possibly apply the change, but I am not comfortable applying an unofficial change to the websites source code. I'm sure the phpBB devs will provide a fix sooner or later, so for now everyone should follow the suggestioned action for getting around this.
