Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })When something dramatically outside of normality happens, and the Muggles are able to see past the Masquerade, a team (or at the least, a special go-to guy) is often dispatched to erase and/or alter the memories of any witnesses to cover up the abnormality of their mundane lives and keep the existence of the weird stuff a secret (often by using some sort of Laser-Guided Amnesia). Note: This is not about the amnesia, or about what causes it. It's about WHO causes it. (No, not that WHO, either. Or is it...) Compare The Men in Black, Cleanup Crew. Contrast the more brutal Killed to Uphold the Masquerade. |

In Sixth Watch, the characters wonder how extremely important information about the origins and true nature of the Others could have been hidden or forgotten. It was the Great Others themselves, who have wiped their own and others' memories in order to keep that knowledge from interfering with their plans for a perfect world. One, a witch, has managed to retain the memories by imparting them onto an artifact. Her memories were restored as soon as she touched it. | |

In the Harry Potter stories, if a wizard lost control and accidentally used his powers (or some other event that would endanger the safety of the wizarding world), the Ministry of Magic would dispatch a special group called Obliviators to see to it that people's memories of the event were altered. Additionally, the charm used for such actions can also be used to wipe out people's entire memory, according to Chamber of Secrets. |

Professor X often plays this role in early versions of the X-Men such as X-Men: Evolution, wiping memories when The Masquerade has been blown. During an episode of Evolution where the Brotherhood show off their powers in the middle of a school football game, he dangerously overexerts his powers by modifying the memory of every spectator. Naturally, the one person whose mind he doesn't completely wipe is Principal Kelly... | |

One episode of Kolchak: The Night Stalker had Kolchak narrating the events into a tape recorder, because the government had done this to him, and it hadn't quite taken, or rather not all at once.

A typically dark example from Warhammer 40,000. Since admitting the existence of an elite army of demon slayers would be admitting that there are such things as demons, the Imperium treats the Grey Knights as a state secret enforced by specially-trained psykers. Other space marines who fight alongside them go through a lengthy memory-scrubbing afterwards, while Imperial Guardsmen who distinguish themselves are subjected to a hasty process that is both painful and often fatal. Everyone else is just executed. An especially notable example was after the first war for Armageddon; after the invasion was driven off, the entire population of the planet was sterilized and worked to death in concentration camps. | |

In Eclipse Phase Firewall, Project Ozma, and Titanian intelligence all have agents that erase memories with psychosurgery or drugs. Though given the ubiquity of Body Backup Drives in the setting it's just as frequent that they simply kill someone and revert them to a backup made before they saw whatever they saw. | |

Men in Black is probably the best example. Individual MIB teams had the neuralizer, which could wipe memories for a set amount of time and leave them in a hypnotic state so that new memories could be implanted. While they could often do the jobs themselves, and indeed it was part of their function, for larger memory fixing they could call in special task forces that would come out, neuralize large numbers of people, plant evidence, etc. | |

In the pilot episode of Blake's 7, Blake is contacted by La Résistance who inform him that he led a rebellion several years ago, was captured and brainwashed into denouncing his cause, then implanted with Fake Memories to make him forget this. Blake then witnesses the rebels being massacred by Federation troops. The authorities try to erase his memory again, but the trauma causes the memory blocks to break down, so Blake is framed and deported to a penal planet setting in motion the events of the series. | |

The Psyche Master in Empath: The Luckiest Smurf uses his mental powers to erase Empath of his infantile memories when he was first admitted to Psychelia as a child to keep himself from remembering Papa Smurf as his actual biological father. This, however, fails, as the Psyche Master still leaves in Empath's mind the memory of those last seconds leading up to the erasure, which he considers to be more of a Mind Rape. | |

In the Touhou Film Comic Osana Reimu, Yukari goes around to erase everyone's memories of Rumia post-sealing. In most cases it's so that Rumia will be allowed to live a new life, but Reimu is a special case because she's too young to cope with the harsh reality of what happened to her mother and her friend. Also happens to Rumia herself as a part of her seal, locking her memories away so she isn't crushed by grief. |

The Temporal Corps of Simon Hawkes' Time Wars do this to any locals who get involved with them, though they made an exception for Jules Verne. Not wanting to interfere with the mysterious processes of creativity and stop him writing the books he was supposed to, he kept his memories of time travellers and submarines and such. | |

In the Artemis Fowl series, the fairies can wipe the memories of any humans who learn about them, as they do to Artemis and his friends at the end of the third book (they all get better). There are even two different techniques they use. One is a block wipe, which just takes out a huge chunk of memory, but the longer the interval of time taken out, the greater chance there is for permanent mental damage. The other is a fine-tuned wipe which removes specific events, people, etc., but takes a lot longer than a block wipe. | |

Occasionally on Star Trek: The Next Generation when the crew would accidentally expose themselves (so to speak) to races that weren't ready for interstellar communication, the doctors would somehow do a little surgery to make those memories go away - basically an Alien Abduction. Dr. Pulaski was more prone to doing it than Dr. Crusher. | |
