Will deleting messages from iPad delete from iPhone?
You would need to make sure on the iPad you go to Settings > Your Name, iCloud, iTunes & App Store. Tap iCloud. Make sure you turn off messages. After doing that, if you delete a message from your iPad, it won’t delete from your iPhone.

When you delete a message on iPhone does it delete on the other person’s phone?
If you delete it on your phone it does not delete it from the recipients phone. You cannot retract a deleted message without restoring the entire phone backup and that is assuming that the message is contained in the backup.
How to erase all data on one device affec?
If you go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings it won’t effect any other devices. You would only start erasing data from the iPad if you were to go to the individual data areas on the phone and start deleting data.
How can I delete messages across all devices?
The iMessages servers push the iMessages to the devices until they accept. This is achieved by the iMessages servers effectively “copying” the iMessages until there is a “Copy” for each device. Then there is not connection between any of them. What is received by one device is unconnected to any received by another device.
Can you delete an iMessage on a different device?
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.
What happens to iMessages when they leave the server?
So once an iMessage has left the servers it has nothing to do with any “copies” to sync them in the way a Mail Server set up might. It is more like a POP server in mail being accessed by several devices set to “Leave the message on Server” than IMAP servers.
