deletable
Able to remove
Deletable means able to be deleted or removed.
The word appears most often in computing contexts, describing files, messages, or data that can be erased: The cache contains deletable temporary files.
Outside technology, deletable applies to anything that can be struck from a document or eliminated: Several paragraphs were clearly deletable.
