Bug description

Removing a Signal connection is impossible in certain conditions.

I am seeing Stories of a person I don't know, and it seems there is no way to remove that person. AFAIK I should only see stories of persons were I accepted the message request.

However I've never accepted a message request for that person. Either there were ways how a contact could get accepted automatically under certain circumstances, or the person was in my contact list years ago.

I would just like to delete the signal connection, however I couldn't find a way to do so:

• It doesn't appear in my chat list, as we've never sent a message to each other.
• It doesn't show up in global search.
• Searching the number via "new chat" brings me directly to the conversation page without a delete option.
• The conversation page doesn't offer a way to delete the conversation in the drop-down menu.
• The conversation settings don't offer a delete option, only "block" and "report".

I would like to just find a regular "delete" option for that signal connection, however, it seems like I'm stuck in that weird in-between state were it exists and not exists at the same time and I can't imagine that's intentional.

(I'm using the beta versions BTW, but report it here as it's unrelated to the newest beta)
