deleted
Removed from existence
Deleted describes something that has been removed or erased.
Files are deleted from computers, scenes deleted from films, passages deleted from manuscripts.
The word often implies the thing once existed and was deliberately eliminated: I deleted his number from my phone.
In internet culture, a deleted account or post suggests someone chose to withdraw from a conversation or platform entirely.
