Actually, neither one is correct.
The correct sentence would read,
"Don't erase the memories of her from your mind."

Both of these statements are grammatically correct, but they mean radically different things.
1) means "Do not remove from YOUR mind the knowledge you have of her memories" (If you mean "Do not forget her", then you would use the singular "memory", not the plural: "Do not erase her memory from your mind". But it's awkward, most Americans would naturally say, "Don't forget her")
2) means "Do not remove from HER mind the memories she has of your mind"

They're both grammatically valid. However, the two sentences actually mean two different things.
The first one is talking about removing someone else's thoughts(memories) from your own head.
The second one is talking about removing someone else's memories about what's inside your mind from their own head.
Both are somewhat nonsensical, but grammatically valid none the less.

First one is correct: erase from."Thanks for all answerers " is wrong. You can say Thanks for the answers = [My]thanks [go to answerers] for the answers.Or , [My] thanks [go] to the answerers/I thank the answerers.
