blank spot

Unfilled vacant space

A blank spot is an area where something expected is missing or absent.

It often refers to gaps in coverage—a blank spot in cell service, a blank spot on a map where territory remains unexplored.

Figuratively, a blank spot in memory is something you can't recall: I have a blank spot about what happened that night.
