Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. start private chat with an user
2. other user requests verification
3. you see the dot next to the bell icon in the upper right
4. both leave the chat.
5. the notification is still there for the verification but you cant really mark it was read/done.
6. if you click onto the notification it does "Empty room (was otherusername) can't be previewed. Do you want to join it? (join discussion button)"
7. opening a new chat with the same user and doing the verification there does not mark the old "wants to verify you" notification as done.

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?

either the notifications associated to the chat, which you just left, should be marked as done or I should have a method to mark it as done.

#### What happened instead?

i am stuck with a notification which i can not discard.
