At this time deleting Messages is a separate function. On your Watch the Messages will be deleted automatically as new Messages are added. You are not doing anything wrong.

Are these iMessages? Have you tried to log out and in again on iCloud?

What exactly does "Mirroring" do then? I mean, what are the specific things that are mirrored on your watch from your phone if this very simple thing can't be done?
