When I was reading text messages on my HTC phone yesterday, I accidentally deleted the whole conversation of text messages instead of two specific messages. But I don't intend to deleted all of them. Do you guys have any idea? Is there a way to retrieve deleted text messages? Looking forward to hear from you guys! Thanks in advance."

I am sorry to hear that, but do not worry too much about that.
