There's a bit of design work to do, since it's not immediately obvious where the control to initate this would live.

There's a bit of design work to do, since it's not immediately obvious where the control to initate this would live.

How about: rooms are deleted from the list automatically after a certain period of time, and there's an option in the settings to control this?

It is not always a complete deletion that is wanted. #16946 was because of a bridge bot going wild. The hundreds of rooms it had created were to be forgotten, but not the other rooms in the history.
So either a search criterion would be wanted, or the option to check the rooms to be forgotten, and the possibility to invert the selection (so the few rooms to be kept could be selected instead, and the selection inverted afterwards).
The obvious UI place for this would be the ... menu in the header of the history section of the room list.

Time based auto-pruning would also be acceptable for me (like set it to 3 days/months/years) and rooms meeting that criteria would be removed from the historical rooms list. It would be nice to be able to exempt rooms from that auto delete mechanism.
