deleters
Those who expunge
Deleters are people or things that delete—remove, erase, or eliminate something.
The word appears most often in computing contexts, referring to software tools or scripts that remove files, data, or content: The app includes automatic duplicate deleters.
It can also describe people who habitually delete messages, posts, or emails: Serial deleters never leave a paper trail.
