You could try deleting and reinstalling the app, other than that, contact FB to report it.

This is a known and longstanding problem. If you Google for "Deleted messages keep reappearing on fb messenger" you will get lots of hits, including this from The Verge that dates from 2018 :-

Remove the use FB Messenger as an SMS client and stop the syncing of SMS to FB Messenger


Have a look here: https://www.facebook.com/help/442105343709195/

 

Other than that try reddit, to see if anyone else has had the issue..

I'm sure FB are fully aware so yet another app update is probably required.
