expungeable

Able to remove

Expungeable describes something that can be erased, removed, or struck from a record.

The term appears most often in legal contexts, where certain criminal convictions may be expungeable after a period of time: First-time offenses are often expungeable.

If a record is expunged, it's treated as though it never existed.
