"Delete room" button

[ara4n]

People constantly ask how they can delete a room.

The way to do it today is for the admin to manually remove the room's aliases and then kick everyone out of it.

We might want to provide a button to automate that process.

I would like to have a tooltip (either on the button itself or on a help icon nearby) or anything similar that describes the process or procedures that the button does though; a list of what it automates exactly. :)

How would this work for a room with multiple admins?

Same as room with single admin.

The issue is the way to "Delete" a room is to remove its aliases, kick everyone and then leave yourself (so that it becomes empty and unjoinable). But you can't kick other users with the same power level in Matrix, i.e other admins.

It means impossible to delete room with lost admin.
It's a flaw, it's wrong, and should be changed.
Then maybe deletion have to be a special case, special permission etc.

That would be an issue for https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues not here

And I would prefer that to the ability for an Admin to drunk/angry go and delete my room.

[iav]

It means newer delete room if one of admin dead.
Of just lost email address because of (spammers, virus, dns broker error, regoistrator closed or change policy etc etc etc).

How is this issue different from https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/6978?
