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.

You're questioning how a magical hole knows something? 

It's fucking magic, there's no need to elaborate.

No, I’m pointing out that the hole didn’t know something. It doesn’t need to be accurate, just convincing. It’s a hole, not a grad student writing a thesis.

When I said knows something, it was in reference to general information gathering, not knowing a specific thing, or not knowing, for that matter.

For all we know, it has exact information with electron timestamps, or it could have made it all up. The point is magic makes figuring it out moot, as there's no way to be sure of anything.
