* In ''Literature/DeadSilence'' MegaCorp Verux has done quite a lot of this to hide their coprorate malfeasance with their Mars colony Ferris. Claire only finds out about the details thanks to working for them. Later on [[spoiler:they try it again by scuttling the space ship Aurora, to hide their use of a sonic weapon that drove everyone aboard insane.]]
* In the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'', Kodiak destroys tapes of [[spoiler:the Don (and probably more of the Alphas) abusing and raping Skybolt and Cavalier, who were MindRaped into being obedient slaves]] because he knows that should the tapes get out, sooner or later the entire school would see them -- and any chance of [[spoiler:Skybolt and Cavalier]] having a normal life once they get released from the psych ward would be ruined.

** The Nazis took it one step farther whenever they had to close down any concentration camps. They did their best to destroy not only the records of the camps' operation, but also the camps themselves (with varying degrees of success). The Plaszow camp (depicted in the film ''Film/SchindlersList'') was completely dismantled, all its living prisoners were sent to other locations, and the bodies of everyone who had died there were dug up and burned. By the time the Red Army reached the site in January 1945, there was nothing left but an empty field.

* There is legal precedent for the police seizing evidence in advance of a search warrant being signed/delivered to the site of the search if they have good reason to believe that a suspect will seek to destroy it, specifically to prevent said destruction from happening. That said, the police would still not be permitted to examine or use the evidence until the signed warrant arrives.
