Description
Steps to reproduce
- Create a new thread in any conversation, group or individual
- Try to delete this thread
Expected behaviour
There is a button in UI that says "Delete thread"
Actual behaviour
There is no any button or steps you can take to delete it once a thread has been created. The thread will live forever even if all of its messages were deleted (like described here https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/issues/16739)

Research direction
Reproduce the missing deletion control in a conversation, group, or individual chat, then read the related issue 16739 for the existing behavior around deleted messages. Trace how thread actions are exposed in the UI and verify that done means a created thread can be deleted rather than remaining after its messages are removed.
