Just because you don’t remember something, doesn’t mean it doesn’t affect you. (Just because you don’t know X about yourself, doesn’t mean the sentence “you possess the property X” isn’t true.)
For the sake of argument we assume that the information is erased sufficiently good for two pseudo-copies to be become exact copies—and this information is not immediately restored by interaction with the outside world. If we were digital minds, it will be simpler: I can generate a random string of data in advance and then delete bit by bit.
