Is there a way to completely eradicate memories?

I did it once, but I can't remember how

A hard enough knock to the head or a combination of drugs should do it.
death, look up coping.

Yes, actually.
I've done it quite a bit while exploring my mental capabilities.
It's surprisingly easy, however it does require time.
This is how you do it.
1. Think of target memory(a)
2. Speculate if it happened or not
3. Start think of a memory(b) you wish to replace it with
3. Speculate whether or not events from memory(b) took place during memory(a)
4. Focus on the difference between (a) and (b). Genuinely confuse yourself as to why as to why memory(a) is there as apposed to memory(b)
5. Start adding events that never happened during memory (a)
6. Speculate over the legitimacy of said events (did they or did they not happen)
7. Reassure yourself that memory(a) was likely a dream do to step 6 and 7. The memory that actually took place was memory(b).
Note: Memory(b) has to be close in the time line so it doesn't create a paradoxical memory.
The mind is very maleable, almost like clay that wants to retain it's original shape. However if you reshape it enough times it will forget or reject it's former state.

How much time do you need to do this?
Does it only work in isolated events when you are alone, or can you convince someone else of the distorted memory?

I can see how this can work for smaller memories, but what if you need to apply it to large scale memories that apply to a majority of your life and the series of memories that follow from that event, can it work in that way? What if you want to forget a name too?
A lot of alcohol.

It works for single events.
the way you get it to work for larger memories is by distorting the key events of that larger memory.
When I originally learned how to do this. I created an entire block of memories that spans over three years that I can barely remember. The stuff I do remember I can't make heads or tails of.
The reason behind this is because the memories I was using to corrupt target memories where that of dreams I've had. Over the years my mind rejected those memories entirely.
There's no way to calculate how long it'll take you to erase memory but I would be careful. You could very easily end up in my shoes.
As for forgetting something small like a name. Idk... I suppose you could try to use similar sounding names/words instead of memories. However I've never experimented with that so I don't know if it'll work.

Traditional method
Having a genetic history of Alzheimer's will help.
I have a terrible memory.

Ironic control theory, sounds like a love letter to drinking.
From what I noticed, there are ways to overwrite memories by replacing them with other interpretations, but is there a way delete them as if they never happened in the first place rather than overwriting it?
