I believe the answer is:

entity

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'article that remains after id cleared my' is the first definition.
'entity' can be an answer for 'article' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the remainder of the definition.

'name perhaps' is the second definition.
(name is a kind of entity)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entity that I've seen before include "It exists as a seperate thing (6)" , "Something with independent existence" , "Something existing in its own right" , "Presence" , "Object" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
