Obliviate

The Memory Charm (Obliviate), sometimes referred to as the Mental fogginess Charm, was a spell whose usage completely wipes certain memories from a person's memory. It was distinct from the charms that induced erroneous recollections.

Generally, Memory Charms (Obliviate) were designed to obliterate a certain memory. They were often employed when a Muggle encountered anything linked to the wizard's world or magic in nature; the Ministry of Magic ordered Obliviators to erase memories of such events, like when a Muggle saw some dragons. At times, like as the Ilfracombe Incident, widespread employment of Memory Charms was essential to conceal important happenings that broke the Statute of Secrecy.

As per Blenheim Stalk in Muggles Who Notice, some Muggles did fall between the cracks in these instances. When extremely vivid memories were to be wiped, the victim was often left confused for a brief while, as was the case with the Robert family after the 1994 Quidditch World Cup.
