* ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'': Arthur Dent's house (which may not have been the house he grew up in, but never mind...) is destroyed to make way for a motorway. Later that day, the Earth, which was definitely the planet Arthur Dent grew up on, was [[Earthshattering Kaboom|destroyed]] to make way for a hyperspace express route. [[It Got Better]] several times, but was destroyed again each time.
* In [[The Lord of the Rings]], Saruman did this to Frodo and the hobbits out of malice over his defeat at Isengard. He had his goons tear down trees, destroy buildings, and foul the river of the Shire out of sheer spite.
* Played to an almost [[Tear Jerker]] level in [[The Pendragon Adventure]]. Bobby's entire motive for the first book was to save Uncle Press and go home to Second Earth. Upon his return he finds that not only is his family, dog, and house gone, but ''every document, memento, or any miscellaneous item proving their existence has been wiped from existence.'' Travelers don't have histories, and Bobby goes through a [[Despair Event Horizon]] when he sees that even the tree he used to swing from is free from any rope-marks.
