### Description

When a room is started by sending a direct message to yourself, the room is created and has the name "Empty room", and the user is the only one in it. Upon leaving the room, it will go to the "Historical" tab. clicking "forget room" in the room options does not cause the room to be removed. Trying to rejoin the room displays an error message.
