"The reason for this soon becomes clear as Revan is almost devoured by primal Sith forces on the world's surface. Revan's will allows him to feed on (and not be consumed by) the power of the dark side."
―Chronicles of the Old Republic
A draining and force resistance feat for Revan, especially considering the quote from Traya. ^
"There is a place in the galaxy where the dark side of the Force runs strong. It is something of the Sith, but it was fueled by war. It corrupts all that walks on its surface—drowns them in the power of the dark side. It corrupts all life, and it feeds on death."
―Kreia

As I recall, he only remembered because Bastila was actively drawing on said memories, and the Council only didn't destroy the memories because they wanted to find the Star Forge.
Not really. The Council was relying on Shan's bond with Revan to get the memories.
Revan himself was believed to have been completely cleansed of them, and then was made just a normal solider.
Seemingly, it was only when they both went to Dantooine was when Revan's quest was given to him.
Though with all the major twists in the game, that apparent answer might have retconned later on.

Neither are that accurate.
However, Malak was ultizing Dun Moch to turn Revan angry at the Jedi Council/Bastila.
I'm not exactly sure how reliable he is either.

Bastila also says they needed to find the Star Forge when you defeat her and say, "I was the Dark Lord of the Sith and the Council let me live," or something like that. Then again she wants you to saber her through the face.
I just don't see how you can plan to remove memories from someone while at the same time expecting to use that someone to see these memories. I think it's more likely they weren't trying to destroy them to begin with, only repress them. And he only started to see these memories when under Bastila's command.
They "wiped Revan's mind clean, erasing his memories and giving him a new identity", presumably underestimating that his will and mind is capable of resurrecting them.
