The right to vanish is a right of contributors to leave, no questions asked, it is not a right to pull all your correspondence from the file and demand the employer shred every document you're ever signed.
I am also increasingly concerned that cases where someone is strongly insisting on a 'right to vanish' that it's actually 'right to return under another identity' being exercised, and the purpose for the deletions is to remove as much as possible the institutional memory and tell-tale signs of that person's previous interactions and behavior.
IMO, vanish means vanish. You're not vanishing if you're coming back with a new face.
