I do not think you can ever remove anything. Every thought, in my opinion, stays with us forever. But you can try to "archive" it - remove it from your short-term memory.

I think that if you try to will the thoughts away, they will stay with you even worse.

Another idea is to write an email to yourself, with all the thoughts, and archive or file it away upon receipt. So it is with you still, but not right in front of your nose.
Thanks for this!
