How to completely delete a conversation in WhatsApp for yourself and the other person - briefly?

To completely delete a conversation in WhatsApp for both parties, you can use the "Delete for Everyone" feature. This option allows you to remove messages from your own device and the recipient's device within seven minutes of sending them. However, if more than seven minutes have passed, you can only delete the conversation from your own device using the "Clear Chat" function.
