fluree memory forget

Retract a memory permanently. Unlike update, forget removes the memory entirely — it stops existing.

fluree memory forget <ID>

Output:

Forgotten: mem:fact-01JDXYZ...

When to forget vs. update

You think…	Use

"This was right but the world changed"	update
"I never want anyone to see this again"	forget

See Updates and forgetting for more detail.

Forgetting accidentally-committed secrets

Forgetting removes the memory from the ledger and rewrites repo.ttl (or .local/user.ttl) immediately, so the deletion shows up in your next git diff. If a secret value also ended up in git history, you need to scrub the history separately — see Secrets and sensitivity.
