Let's say you post an image, and I learn something by viewing it, then you delete the image. Is my memory of your now deleted image wiped along with everything I learned from viewing it?

I have seen plenty of images on the internet where I would gladly accept this as thing. Unfortunately, what's been seen, can't be unseen.
Unfortunately computer memory, unlike your memory, is so easily wiped. Having the infrastructure in place to make sure it happens on the other hand, seems more like human memory.
