What is your solution?

Answer 1

I am not sure why it doesn't work but you should (although it's optional) utilize ON instead of WHERE - it reduces the rows to search through drastically and runs faster and safer.

DELETE i, im FROM contact i
JOIN contact_message im ON i.id = im.id 
WHERE i.id = 1
