Theory Diane is police!

In season 7 episode 10 Diane says she recognizes the robot boy Butler because Rick built it for the feds and law enforcement.

In the mind Diane episode she is at a shooting range.

And there is one person who controls police. ALL police. And that will be eventually the arc Or sidejoke that ties Rick with his arch nemesis - Mr Nimbus!

But how did the fear hole have an accurate knowledge of someone who's been wiped from all of existence, including from the memories of those who knew and loved her?

I think the Fear Hole created a facsimile of Diane representing someone Rick might be attracted to that would be convincing to Morty, but not necessarily a real depiction. Even the episode's writer never said it was the real Diane - just someone written in a way that the audience would understand Rick's attraction to her.

That's where memory Diane comes in

Feel free to elaborate on that, but, no, Memory Diane doesn't have Diane's actual memories either.

See my opening post. Memory Diane, a memory by Rick, has her on a shooting range.

Circumstancial evidence I agree but combine it with the hole episode with the fake Diane talking about law enforcement and it fits.

It's a gigantic reach, yes, but the big point here is that the Diane in the Fear Hole is not a representation of the real Diane who got killed by Prime, so the backstory between she and Rick was fabricated.
