Is it possible to unlearn?

The expression, "It's like riding a bike", once you know how you can never unlearn. Is it true with all skills?

What if a person was to over-analyze to the point that they couldn't do it? Should they throw their analysis away, would they have no problem performing the skill as well as they ever did?

Update:

Hope that question made sense, it made sense to me anyway

    Iv one is inhibited by their analysis, should one 'throw away' their inhibitions, they'd likely do as they did before.

    There's no real unlearning.
