Default Eradication from the Historical record

I have read that the Catholic Church is responsible for the destruction of records,literature, and other information regarding other forms of Christianity that existed in the first few centuries after Jesus lived.

I know that there is probably some truth to this but there are no doubt far out whacko theories too.

Has there ever been a proven case where a book or set of books whose information has ever been eradicated due to supression, burning, or refusal of scribes to continue copying?

Also, did the Catholic Church have the capacity in the early centuries of Christianity to pull off what a lot of people claim it did to these other forms of Christianity?

I'm locking this thread as redundant and directing you to an already existing recent thread on the subject:
