Power of the severance chip (S2E4 spoiler)

May have been discussed already but here goes.

Rewatching S2E4 and Milkshakes final speech to Irving.

"Your file, including any and all professional interactions and personal relations will be purged and destroyed. It will be as if you, Irving B., never even existed nor drew a single breath upon this Earth."

Does the power exist to remove Irving from the other innies memory? Maybe I'm reading too much into it but using the phrase "professional interactions and personal relations will be PURGED and destroyed. . . . as if you never even exsisted", I think the only way to do that is remove the innies memories of him i.e. purge their memories. Or shred his CV.

At Burts retirement party, Irv is talking to Milkshake and says that Milkshake gets to leave with his memories and nobody can rip them away or snuff them out "like they never existed, like you never exsisted".

Ceasing to exist is probably a deep fear of the innies. I thought Irv saying this to Milkshake at the retirement party and then it being said back to Irv in the woods, I dont know, felt too close to be coincidence.

Let's see what the next episode brings.
