obliterable
Able to disappear
Obliterable describes something capable of being obliterated—wiped out, erased, or destroyed completely.
The word appears in technical and philosophical contexts: Is any memory truly obliterable?
The pencil marks were easily obliterable with a good eraser.
The opposite is inobliterable, though that form is rare.
