Conversations in inbox linger in database. - feature or bug?

Is this a bug or a feature - referring to Inbox messaging
If all recipients delete the conversation, wouldn't it be better to delete the conversation from the database. As it stands now, it remains there forever in ConversationMessage.
Whereas, if a discussion is deleted, it is removed from the database.

The issue is that when a discussion is deleted, it's not linked to any particular user. Hence, no specific check is necessary.
I'm quite surprised about that, I thought it was just marked as deleted.
For a conversation, it's like you said, it might be good to remove it once all users deleted it. It requires more checks, and being able to track all those users and what they did do, or parse the tables each time a user delete it to find out if he was the last one.
Performance wise, they are many issue with that.
Seems like a utility function could be added to dashboard to clear detritus from the databases, if this is a bug maybe @Todd would know, maybe there an intention to change it in the future. Or perhaps there already is a utility that I am not aware of.
