But where can I find grue and bleen? If knowledge of them were deleted from my memory, would I reform those concepts?

If you deleted my knowledge of color, but left me my eyes, I could still distinguish between photons of 2.75 eV and photons of 2.3 eV. That's a difference you can find outside you and that persists.
