A makeshift memorial to Daphne Caruana Galizia in Valletta was cleared of flowers and tributes overnight in yet another act of defiance against the adulation to the slain journalist.
It is not known who removed the pictures, flowers and candles from the foot of the Great Siege monument.
"The memorial has been wiped out, again. This time with even less care to conceal the hate," one witness told Times of Malta.
The memorial has been an issue of controversy, with many protests and memorials for the journalists held at the spot.
Another overnight clean-up took place on March 5 but within hours the monument was restored with further candles and flowers in tribute.

The Civil Society Network had asked the Valletta police to protect the makeshift memorial after Labour councillor Ray Azzopardi filed a motion to remove it. The councillor had said that Caruana Galizia shrine was a defacement of national monument.
Ms Caruana Galizia was killed in a car bomb last October. Three men have been charged with her murder but the mastermind is believed to still be at large.
