F. WHAT IS A BAD CONFESSION?

A bad confession is one in which the person deliberately conceals a mortal sin. Such a confession is a sacrilege (an abuse the sacred power of forgiving sin). A sacrilegious confession is a rare thing; most people are very sincere and truthful in the confessional. If a person makes a sacrilegious confession, he must confess this fact, and repeat all his sins since his last good confession.

For example, if in 1990 a person willfully concealed a mortal sin in confession, all his confessions and Holy Communions are sacrilegious until he makes a good confession in which he tells of his sacrilegious act. If a person forgets to confess a mortal sin in confession, his confession is not sacrilegious. All that is necessary is that he tells this particular mortal sin in a future confession whenever he thinks of it

Notice it is willfully holding back, not forgetting it by accident (or the priest cuts it short attempting to keep a long line moving).
