There are a number of unidentified high-status mummies of the New Kingdom, mostly found in what we call the Royal Mummy Caches. These are a series of secret tombs in the Valley of the Kings, in which agents of the High Priests of Amun, who controlled the Theban area during the 21st and 22nd Dynasties, hid the bodies of many of the kings and queens of the 18th, 19th, and 20th Dynasties. Her mummy was not at her tomb. The mummy was found long ago but it was unidentified until 2014. They found a tooth in the organ jars and it was a match. Her mummy was found at last. Her mummy was found under the instruction of Dr. Hawass.

Did Hatshepsut ask for her tomb to be destroyed after her death?
No she didn't. Since Thutmose III was too young to assume the throne unaided, Hatshepsut served as his regent. Initially, Hatshepsut bore this role traditionally until, for reasons that are unclear, she claimed the role of pharaoh. Technically, Hatshepsut did not 'usurp' the crown, as Thutmose the III was never deposed and was considered co-ruler throughout her life, but it is clear that Hatshepsut was the principal ruler in power. He was her nephew. When she died, he tried to erase her history.

Hatshepsut, who was a female pharaoh in ancient Egypt, did not deface her own tomb.

This was a common practice by ancient rulers to erase the memory of previous rulers whom they deemed illegitimate or unworthy.
