Feature request
Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using: (see administration page) c.nc
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Since I can now edit my "Note to self" messages all the time (thanks for that, btw, amazing :heart_eyes: ), I have deleted some older messages. Now, my Note to Self chat contains a lot of lines of "Message deleted by you".
Describe the solution you'd like "Message deleted by you" isn't used, instead, those chat messages get completely deleted.
Describe alternatives you've considered A button in the chat settings that allows for bulk deleting of those pseudo messages from my chat.
Additional context
:cry:
If it is for a "one-time" cleanup, you could use the option "Clear messages" in conversation settings (I know it's not the same as this request, just wanted to point out an alternative 😉)

Unfortunately that would delete messages I'd rather keep :crying_cat_face:
The problem is we kind of need that for mobile clients so they get informed that they should remove previous messages. We could of course "hide" them in the clients, but it's beyond trivial due to readmarker handling options etc.

Possible fix: make it a just one pixel invisible horizontal line, doing so it wouldn't be visible anymore to users but still be there without breaking anything.
Only option would be to not show those messages in Note-to-self, but we still need them sent, so that clients with offline storage update/delete them as well
