Messages are stored on the device instead of in iCloud.

As per this article https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/messages/icht1035/mac

Delete a conversation: Select a conversation, then choose File > Delete Conversation. Or, if you have a trackpad or a Magic Mouse, you can also swipe left with two fingers on the conversation in the sidebar, then click Delete.

If you use Messages in iCloud, deleting a conversation on your Mac deletes it from all your devices where Messages in iCloud is turned on.
