'''Mind-wipe''' (also referred to as '''mind-cleansingcleanse''',{{Fn|2a}} '''mind-sweepingsweep''',{{Fn|3}} '''mind-purgingpurge''', or '''mind-scrubbingscrub'''){{Fn|2c}} is an intensive process used to remove memories from an individual.{{Fn|2d}}
The best way to keep a secret is to force an individual to forget it, at least when execution isn't the preferred option. Knowing of any of the Imperium's innumerable secrets,{{Fn|2b}} or simply being at the wrong place at the wrong time, often condemns an individual to execution or, if they are fortunate, mind-wipe.{{Fn|2b}} It is a brutally invasive process frequently used by the [[Inquisition]].{{Fn|2d}} This process is also utilised by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]{{Fn|3}} and [[Space Marines]].{{citethis}}
