  | Package        | `@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native`                                                                                                                              |
  | Import         | `import { CometChat } from "@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native";`                                                                                                 |
  | Key Methods    | `deleteConversation()`                                                                                                                                          |

  | Prerequisites  | SDK initialized via [`CometChat.init()`](/sdk/react-native/setup-sdk) and a logged-in user via [`CometChat.login()`](/sdk/react-native/authentication-overview) |
  | Primary output | `Promise<string>` — the deleted conversation's identifier; rejects with `CometChatException`                                                                    |
  | Constraints    | Deletion is **per-user**: the other participant keeps their copy. Deleting does not delete the underlying messages.                                             |
