In response to George's comment - for the second half of the question I would use "weeding and destruction" - which again yields a good crop of Google-examples: http://tinyurl.com/hprjxe5

erasure / blocking / (trimming)


Explanation:
Till exempel CSN skriver att "med gallring menas att CSN ska ta bort personuppgifter som finns i studiestödsärenden" (http://www.csn.se/om-webbplatsen/behandling-personuppgifter/...
I denna bemärkelse: erasure (http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/article-29/docum...

Wikipedia skriver dock att "överföring av information till andra databärare också som gallring om överföringen leder till 1. informationsförlust 2. förlust av möjliga informationssammanställningar 3. förlust av sökmöjligheter 4. förlust av möjligheter att fastställa informationens autenticitet"
I denna bemärkelse: blocking eller eventuellt trimming för kriterium 1 (lånat från IT-jargongen).
