Description
Hello,
I'd like to request the ability to delete individual chat elements within a conversation, similar to the functionality available in Open WebUI.
Acceptance criteria:
- Users can delete their own messages within a chat conversation.
- A delete action (e.g., a trash icon) is visible on each chat element/message.
- Deleting a message removes it from the chat history without deleting the entire conversation.
- Confirmed via a brief prompt to prevent accidental removal.
This feature would greatly improve the flexibility of managing conversations and keeping chat histories clean and organized.
Thank you for considering this request!
Best regards,
Joshua Krimmer

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the chat conversation UI and the code that stores or loads chat history, then trace how individual messages are represented. Done means users can delete their own messages with a visible action and confirmation prompt, without deleting the conversation or leaving the message in its history.
