Consider the acoustic wave equation with unknown wave speed c, not necessarily smooth. We propose and study an iterative control procedure that erases the history of a wave field up to a given depth in a medium, without any knowledge of c. In the context of seismic or ultrasound imaging, this can be viewed as removing multiple reflections from normal-directed wavefronts.
