I'm doing the disable and delete messages from iCloud to clean out some old messages that refused to delete and kept showing back up. At what point are they actually deleted after the 30 days? Currently, I see the below and it says "in 0 days, the messages stored in iCloud will be deleted". I think today is day 30 or 31. Will that change when it's done? I don't want to turn sync back on too soon and have to start over :(.

Hey did you ever figure this out? I'm trying to resolve the same issue where deleted messages keep coming back.
 
I waited 35 days and then enabled it... all the messages were deleted and the ones I had on my device sync'd to the cloud.
