Vincenzo Natali did a tragically underrated film entitled “Nothing” structured around this idea. As you might imagine, it quickly goes in a different direction.
There was an story I read an long time ago called Obstinate Uncle Otis with this premise, the ending is funnier through. Its online if you want to read it
After all the time I’ve spent on Earth, honestly, I would have way less guilt about “disappearing” people who were effing it up for the rest of us. Applied judiciously ( with occasional petty fits) it could be good.

You’ve re-invented the plot for Death Note.

I thought that as the way it as headed, kinda nice to have a happy ending, though.

Happy ending. It will take years, hopefully decades, to restore the population of actively evil humans to normal levels.

With great power comes great responsibility. Luckily for her, she shed both in the nick of time!
