Uncomputation is a technique, used in [[Reversible_computing|reversible\\ circuits, for cleaning up temporary side effects on ancilla bits so they can be re-used [1].

Uncomputation is important to quantum computing. Whether or not intermediate effects have been uncomputed affects how states interfere with each other when measuring results [2].
