My iPhone is synced with my daughter's iPad. My iMessage texts are appearing on her iPad. We thought we had deleted them from the iPad but they appear to be still there in some sort of "history" section. The screen they are appearing in has no ability to delete; they are just sitting there. I would really like to delete these totally off my daughter's iPad. Any suggestions?

In iTunes in the left hand sidebar go to Apps into the Library selection. If you delete the app there it will not show up in the sync section. In case you need it again you can always download it from the Store again (as long as it is available there).
My experience is you cannot actually delete an iMessage once and have it delete elsewhere.
You can only delete the local cached copy of a message to suppress it being showed/stored on that one device. If you turn off iMessage and turn it back on, you will see the messages from iCloud come back whether you deleted a message or not.

Without seeing a screenshot of what, exactly, you're talking about, it's hard to give any really good advice.
That said, try this:
This should get rid of all your messages, as well as prevent any further iMessages from being delivered to that device.
