Help Can receive txt, but will not send. Radio cuts off for a second

Rooted, 4.08.605.2, using Handcent as default app.
I had a two larger (500+) threads, and a few more in the 150+ range, and had been getting low space message on and off. Was going to do a cleanup later today but two messages came in at the same time and I couldn't open either one. While trying the radio would cut out and go to the "x" for a split second.

I deleted cache for both stock message app and Handcent with no luck. Slowly deleted all messages via stock app and using force delete check box. Rebooted, and could now receive and open new messages in both apps. Although, after installing Handcent it immediately shows 12 new messages, even though there are none. There are some drafts that will not delete. And when trying to delete those the radio also cuts off, then one of them moves to inbox(recipient name at least) as a message from 1969, on the stock messaging app, not Handcent?

Rebooted multiple times, pulled battery for 5 mins, tried using wifi only, etc. Anything else to try other than a hard reset?

Try SMS cleaner, make sure to tell it to delete unread messages also:
