How do I delete private conversations

[OMI100]

I can click the box and I see the drop down box at the bottom but there is no "Delete" option?

Open up the conversation and on the first message, top right hand corner, you will see a "Leave" button. Click it and it will give you and two different options. Try that.

O.K.
It says "Leaving a conversation will remove it from your conversation list. "
That implies that the msg is still being kept and taking up disk space.
Is there a way to completely "DELETE" old msgs and free up that small amount of used disk space.
I understand that a few msg will not take up a lot of disk space BUT how about 1,000's or 10,000's of thousands or..... as EM grows.

I guess an administrator will have to answer that question.

If all parties of a conversation leave a conversation, it will be deleted.

Hmmmmm,
O.K.
I flagged the ones I want gone and clicked "Leave conversation".
Then selected "Ignore future messages".
Then said "Yes".
Messages disappeared from the list, but are they still being stored ???
My point is that if they are STILL being stored, eventually that stored space will grow and grow and grow...........
Think a faucet dripping into a sink...
One drip at a time....
Over an hour not much water in the sink...
Over a week a LOT more water in the sink...
At some later time enough water will be in the sink that it will overfill onto the floor.....

Don't worry about the space, just leave the conversation.
