Can someone help me retrieve my lost text messages. I texted to myself to act as reminders. Suddenly all are gone. Cloud and One drive are not enabled.

Its time to upgrade from that phone. It doesn't have software support any longer. That could be why the Trash option is removed. That is assuming you're using Samsung Messages and not Google Messages. The latter doesn't have a Trash folder on their app. So If you delete something, it cannot be undone.

If any messages were accidentally deleted,
Do NOT back up your messages. It will supposedly make the deletion permanent. Never mind what text support tells you to do. I learned the hard way.

Thanks Jess and Chanie... I already switched to Google Messages and backed them up (per tech support 's advice). Guess I'm out of luck.
