I received an automated private message welcoming me to the community. That’s nice and all, but I don’t want to keep it forever. How do I delete private messages when I’m done with them?
I don’t see any delete button or icon on the inbox, nor do I see one on the screen with the private message itself.

I delete mine, but the conversation remains:

Hi there,
Can you please share why you need this functionality?
From my perspective, these messages are clutter. They are distracting when I look at my inbox. Their existence makes it look like there’s something I have to do - otherwise I would have deleted the message. They are information that I have to intentionally ignore if I ever need to look for something within my private messages - I am denied the ability to retain the information that is useful to me and delete the information that is not.
