erasable

It is most frequently encountered in educational and office settings, where it distinguishes temporary markings from permanent ones.

In digital contexts, the word shifts from a physical action of rubbing to a logical action of deletion. It implies a state of non-permanence, suggesting that the information recorded is intended to be transient or subject to correction.
