iMessage group deletion

If I’m the one who created a group in iMessage, does the thread disappear for the entire group if I delete it? Or will others remain? Does history remain?

Deleting an iMessage thread on your iPhone only deletes it on your iPhone. It does not delete it on your other Apple devices, nor anyone else’s devices.

How to leave a group chat in iMessages if there’s no “leave this conversation” I have this Group Chat in iMessages. I have no idea if it’s a glitch for something but everyone in my contacts list were added in a single group. I can’t leave, nor can anyone leave, and nor can anyone remove anyone. How’s that possible. Need that GC deleted
