IOS – How to delete all voicemails from the iPhone

iosiphonevisual-voicemail

I would like to bulk delete all the voice mails from my iPhone but it appears I need to first delete each one (multiple taps on each message) and then bulk delete them all from the "deleted items" sub folder.

Is there a way to more efficiently delete all voicemail?

n.b. I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 7 on Verizon that isn't jailbroken but would welcome any answers that work for whatever OS / carrier even if a jailbreak is needed

The most efficient method of deleting multiple voicemails at once on the device is using multitouch to swipe left on multiple voicemails at once, then tapping delete.

If your device is jailbroken, you can delete voicemails from the location that they are stored in (and the SQLite3 database in):

~/Library/Voicemail/
