eliminable
Able to remove
Eliminable means capable of being eliminated or removed.
The term appears most often in technical contexts—logic, mathematics, philosophy—where it describes elements that can be removed from a system without loss of essential content: The variable proved eliminable from the equation.
In ordinary use, it simply means something can be gotten rid of: These costs are eliminable with better planning.
