erased
Removed from existence
Erased means rubbed out or removed.
Pencil marks are erased with an eraser; digital files are erased with a keystroke.
The word extends to anything eliminated or made to disappear: The scandal erased years of goodwill.
To feel erased is to feel ignored or rendered invisible, as though your presence or identity doesn't register.
