Before implementing this, we should ask ourselves how to handle a deleted chat:
The available options are basically:

Mark the chat as deleted with no option to send anymore messages
Delete the chat in its entirety (without a warning for the user)
Let the user choose which type should happen

I strongly suggest to keep the chats with a removed contact, as they might contain important information which is not backed up. This would also apply to chats with contacts that were just removed from the contact list, but are still registered.

Once the contact is removed in some way, the chat will be marked as deleted and the UI elements used to compose and send messages will be disabled.

To allow the removal of unnecessary chats, a contaxt menu for chats could be implemented, which offers a delete option. That context menu could also be used for contact removal.
