I am used to a nice sensible *nix system where 'rm something' really
deletes something, permanently and immediately. If I delete an E-Mail
or a file I really want it *gone*, not stashed away somewhere.

On my Android phone there seems to be no straightforward way to delete
SMS messages in particular. This is a right royal pain for
authentication codes from my phone provider for example because the
latest one is at the bottom of the list off the screen if there are
lots of older ones not deleted. If I swipe an SMS off the screen I
want it *gone*!

Are there any apps which make this easier?

Which Android-version and which app?

Swipe the message in the list to the left and it will disappear for forever.

No new app needed.

My Android message app will instantly "archive" if I swipe left.
It even puts an "undo" at the bottom just in case it was a mistake.

It will "delete" conversations if I longpress & press the trash can
which pops up at the top when I longpress on the conversation.

If yours doesn't have those features, you might want to change the app.

Even better, you can change the app for only the five minutes needed.
Then you can switch back to your stock messages app when you're done.

The nice thing about Android is you can switch message apps easily.
(Try that with the iPhone as it's yet another thing iOS can't do.)

Yes, that's exactly what mine does. I want to be able to 'swipe
delete' for preference, I don't want to archive by default. It's a
right pain to go through the longpress and then press the trash can to
actually delete messages.

On of the best things about my E-Mail program (on laptop linux, not
Android) is that I can simply hit 'd' to delete messages in the index,
just a single, immediate, key hit. Then when I leave the index screen
they're gone, deleted, disappeared! :-) This saves huge amounts of
time getting rid of unwanted junk messages, d d d d, they're gone.
