erasable
Can be undone
Erasable describes something that can be removed or rubbed out.
An erasable pencil mark can be eliminated with an eraser; erasable ink can be wiped away.
The term extends to digital contexts: erasable memory can be cleared and rewritten.
Figuratively, some mistakes are erasable while others leave permanent marks.
