So why has she completely forgotten Mr Gold because when the Mad Hatter released her from the Mental Hospital ( before the curse was broken)  he told her to find Mr Gold which she did and the two spoke. So why has she completely forgotten him ? First, she reverted to her pre-Emma-in-Storybrooke form. Second, it's debatable if Belle was even given a Cursed identity. If she doesn't have one, she wouldn't remember anything. There's also the possibility that, since she spent the entirety of the Curse locked away, her Cursed self doesn't actually know Mr. Gold or even who he is anyway.
