MEMORY HOLE

A memory hole is any mechanism for the alteration or disappearance of inconvenient or embarrassing documents, photographs, transcripts, or other records, such as from a web site or other archive, particularly as part of an attempt to give the impression that something never happened.[1][2][3] The concept was first popularized by George Orwell’s dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.
