Windows 10: Unable to get Your Phone working

After a week of struggle I have just seen there are a lot of articles here about Your Phone, so I will set about studying them, but before I do I have a couple of issues I would appreciate help with first, as I have been unable to get past some basics:

1. I have tried fixes and troubleshooters without getting my PC my and new Android phone to connect. They are recognised and linked, but they do not communicate. As a result I have a long list of failed TEST messages displayed, following notifications that they 'cannot be sent', with no explanation. This leads to my next point:
2. How do I get rid of / remove / delete past messages, failed or otherwise? There seems to be virtually no editing capability in Your Phone, apart from copying. I have not found any way to delete old messages, either singly or in bulk so the app is getting cluttered, which is unhelpful

If I can find answers to these issues I should be able to make a clean start with the articles on this site.

Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview


Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.

When my phone fails to upgrade I just keep trying. One upgrade took 3 or 4 tries.
