Yet, it doesn't mean every single thing Eobard ever did was erased. Thawne seized to exist, but it does not necessarily mean that nobody can have any memories of him anymore or that everything he did couldn't have happened. It probably means that the creation of the black hole was just another way for the time stream to readjust itself without playing the role of some deus ex machina where all of a sudden nobody knows anything about Wells or he never did what he did. That makes sense, they closed the wormhole but the black hole/singularity formed anyways because of Eddie killing himself. It seems somewhat convenient but hey, The Flash isn't a show with a primary focus on time travel so what can ya do.
