You can never be sure that duplicated information is destroyed, but if you combine SSS with a dead-man's switch protecting an asymmetric private key, you can periodically invalidate a set of shares.

As a bonus, when you refresh the shares, you'll discover that at least a couple of your trusted parties have absolutely no memory of receiving that mysterious piece of paper from you back in 2022.
