LG chocolate question, help!

k this is such a dumb question on my part, but today i sent a picture message and it sent whatever, now there is that little note at the top of my screen that appears when you have a text message, but i don't have any new texts and i can't get rid of it, it really irriates me, how do i get rid of it.

Well, it could be a voicemail message. Have you checked your voicemail?
Also, their may be some past message that you have not read yet.
You can also clear all your messages to see if it goes away.
