Having been completely removed or obliterated, leaving no trace or indication of prior existence. This can refer to physical markings, digital data, memories, or even abstract concepts. The action of erasing implies a deliberate act of removal, whether through physical means like rubbing or wiping away, or through technological processes like overwriting or deleting.
The degree of removal is crucial; something that is merely smudged or partially obscured is not considered truly erased.
