In this case, I believe you are right. Thutmose III wasn’t very happy that his stepmother had usurped the throne and when he came to power ordered that every trace of her be obliterated. They were pretty through but at her temple they covered her wall carvings with his. A later earthquake knocked the addition down and hers were discovered in the rubble.
