> Alexa, ask home message center to record message, I'll will be home by 8 o'clock < Message: I'll will be home by 8:00. Are you happy with it? > Yes < Message saved.
> Alexa, open home message center < There is a message: I'll will be home by 8:00. Do you want to delete it? > Replay message < There is a message: I'll will be home by 8:00. Do you want to delete it? > Yes
