Help messages freezing

So I have been reading posts on here about people having 2-3,000 messages in a conversation and it crashing.... I have a conversation that has transferred over a few phones long totaling almost five years that has over seventeen thousand messages. Last I checked it was at 17124 and I cannot even open the messages to delete them, every time I try the app goes dark and I have to restart the phone. Any suggestions? I've already tried using hangout to delete them and it did nothing
One other thing I feel necessary to mention, other than that conversation the built in messages app works perfectly (sometimes a little laggy but that is to be expected), it just takes up WAY too much memory.
