By the way, if you reredited your answer, then I might delete my comment – though I'd have to think about it first, because deleting a comment is an unundoable action ;-) | |

Not reversible is much simpler to understand compare to unundoable. Double negation always get me annoyed.

| Jun 9, 2016 at 22:11 | comment | added | J.R. | I like undoable as an answer to the O.P.'s question. As for unundoable, I think I might prefer irrevocable or permanent. | |
| Jun 9, 2016 at 11:52 | comment | added | abligh | Certainly in the software industry "undoable operation" means to me an operation that can be undone. | |
| Jun 9, 2016 at 10:56 | comment | added | Azami | @Kimball: Do that. You might even try a "ununundoable" as a synonym of "undoable" in its "can't be undone" meaning. I'll support you! | |
| Jun 9, 2016 at 10:52 | comment | added | Kimball | Sweet! I will use that all the time now! | |
