ElI5 can you make "something" entirely eradicated?

Maybe I'm dumb, but whatever it's called, matter, particles or atoms.

For example, burn something and ashes would be produced, then the ashes can be spread everywhere in the world, and "disappear"? 

But is it possible for something to get destroyed in a so-called "atomic level" and no longer exist? Maybe putting the ashes under extreme heat like the sun and being eradicated forever and ever?  


Or would it just change forms and exist forever and be recycled over time through whatever methods?  


Yup I am aware this is a stupid question as my education level is too low, hope someone clears this up for me! (I'm not sure what category this falls into, probably physics)

Kinda. 

If you take regular matter and make it touch anti-matter, you will end up converting all of it's mass into energy. 

In a sense it is all still there, only there is nothing physical left, it's all energy. 

Honestly, when you get down to the really small stuff (atomic level), Matter and energy are kinda the same thing, just in different "states".
