would deleting the PM's make much difference.. ? last I deleted them but I didn't see much difference... it think the PM's are quite small... :)

This is a quick fix then to clean out messages then remove and save for later use?

empty pm vis.xml doesn't have the table prefix for PM's :( I haven't checked the others yet. Could've just posted the SQL query :) Thank you though very much.

[MikeF]

Problem: Private messages do not get deleted when a table prefix is used for the database.
Solution: The code has been updated to include this data. I have performed this update without permission, so w-elbalad.com can do whatever he wants with it. Update the code in your XML file or download my new one.

Problem: I'd like to run it as a SQL Query from AdminCP
Solution:

Run each line separately. Remember, you can only run one line queries from AdminCP SQL. Replace prefix_ with your database prefix, or nothing at all, depending on if you are using one.

TRUNCATE `prefix_pm`;
TRUNCATE `prefix_pmtext`;
TRUNCATE `prefix_pmreceipt`;
TRUNCATE `prefix_visitormessage_hash`;
TRUNCATE `prefix_visitormessage`;
UPDATE `prefix_user` SET `pmtotal` = 0, `pmunread` = 0;
UPDATE `prefix_user` SET `vmunreadcount` = 0, `vmmoderatedcount` = 0;

Consider using phpMyAdmin or Navicat for Windows as it is much easier and you can run them all from there.
