How do I start a brand new texting (SMS & iMsg types) thread with the same phone #s?

I don't want to reuse the previous thread. I want to start a brand new thread. Is that possible? Or do I have to delete the previous texting thread to start a new thread?

I wished there was a way to keep old text threads too in folders or something. Basically, like organizing like e-mails. This is in iPhones (11 Pro Max, 12, and 13 with updated iOS v16.6).

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

There is no option to start a new thread or organize into a folder.

Delete the thread and start a new one.
