obliterator

One who erases

Obliterator is someone or something that obliterates—destroys completely, wipes out, or erases without trace.

The word appears in science fiction and video games for weapons or entities of total destruction: The planet obliterator charged its beam.

In mundane contexts, it names tools that black out text: a security obliterator for sensitive documents.
