** At the end of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS6E4Orders Orders]]", [[HeKnowsTooMuch Fives]] is shot by Commander Fox of the Courscant Guard while Palpatine expresses his "condolences" to the Jedi and tells them that a parasite infected Fives and Tup's inhibitor chips, causing them to go haywire, while "promising" to have every Clone Trooper checked so an incident like this could not happen again. He then has Dooku destroy the chips Nala Se gave him, while waiting for the order, [[NumberOfTheBeast Order 66]], to go as planned.

** Similarly, when Echo, Gregor, and the Clones raid Captain Pearce's Gozanti-class cruiser to rescue Howzer and 2 of his men during ''[[Recap/StarWarsTheBadBatchS2E14TippingPoint Tipping Point]]'', the Imperial orders his TK Stormtroopers and Clone Commandos to wipe the files before their enemies could find out where the cruiser was taking the disobedient clones. Though partially deleted, Echo manages to recover some of the files, before falling back with the others to avoid getting destroyed by a fleet of V-Wings sent from a Venator-class Star Destroyer to fully blast the cruiser to smithereens.

** During Anakin and Ashoka's first mission to Mustafar in ''[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E3ChildrenOfTheForce Children of the Force]]'', Paplatine/Sidious orders his main nanny droid RO-Z67 to turn off the facility's gravity supports to hide evidence of kidnapping Force-Sensitive children that would've become Dark Side spies, which succeeds despite Anakin and Ashoka rescuing the children.

** Implied during ''[[Recap/StarWarsTheBadBatchS1E15ReturnToKamino Return to Kamino]], where any more intel on Clone Force 99's creation was wiped because the Empire was about to destroy Tipoca City.
** During ''[[Recap/StarWarsTheBadBatchS2E11Metamorphosis Metamorphosis]]'', 2 Imperial V-Wings destroy Transport 904 on the Mid Rim world of Silla to prevent anyone else from stumbling upon it since it formerly contained a cloned Zillo Beast.

* ''Series/{{CSINY}}'': "The Fall." Don Flack's mentor, Moran, finds out that his son was involved in the robbery of a bodega. He subsequently disposes of the incriminating pop can he finds to keep the boy out of jail. This results in BrokenPedestal and Mac and Flack having to arrest him.

* 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.
