Not all of them... Leave the first 20 - 50 years or so to keep your personality intact.
Just remove the "interesting" stuff so you can do it all again. Exactly, A person is the sum of his memories, when you erase 5-trillion years of memories, there isn't much left of the original person. And as ventilator said... what would be the point?

if you lived sat a trillion years the restof the human race would be extinct, and so there would be nothing to live with. and another thing: when you are 80 you are very frail and weak. imagine how week you would be if you were a trillion years old. there would be nothing left of you. and as pararealist said above, after a while you would loose it anyway, so there would be no point. and if you are immortal can you commit suicide? I guess with immortality would logically come the conclusion that you would not age. So being frail and weak wont be a problem. And anyway there are plenty people who are old as dirt and still are fit as a fiddle. After the first 10,000 years or so one would probably go crazy anyway, if not sooner. Well, that is subjective too. Depends on the person, but yes, after some time one would go crazy too. I think a good lifespan where you would have time to do really everything you "wanted" to do (not "can" do) would be something around 1000 years.

Definition of immortal human is blurry. Is that also include that you cannot suicide? So, even if you do not age you are actually trapped in time and space.
What would happen if i try yo vertically tear myself while i am immortal?
Respawning sounds more interesting rahter than being immortal. They store your memories in some way(like some implant on your body sends everything you live,see,hear,feel back to a server) and when your body dies, they create you a new body(clone) that looks exactly like your previous body and load your memories to that body? Would this person still be you? This is more like immortality with possibility to die.

Lol, this reminds me in Neon Genesis Evangelion's Rei Ayanami Rei Ayanami is a clone made of Shinjis Mother and Shinji. She doesn't get older, so if her father wants her older, he must kill her and create a new one. He never must kill her, once she got killed by a woman, once suicide and killed by angles. Every new Rei looks exactly the same, but can't really remind on her old knowledge. But she knows that she is a clone. Very interesting story - watch the new movies!

You may be immortal but still bound to the laws of the universe. In the scope of the multiverse theory, if our universe collapses (either with another universe or with a big shrink) your existence will end. Does it now get meaning to become immortal? For else you could just as well question life in general. Life seems to be pointless regardless of immortality.
Alternatively you could freeze yourself in when you're done. If you wont wake up anymore after billions of years, problem solved. If you do, you have something new to explore.
