Delete Times article, ultimately (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erase

'delete' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'times article ultimately' is the wordplay.
'times' becomes 'eras' (an era is a time or period).
'ultimately' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'article' is 'e'.
'eras'+'e'='ERASE'

(Other definitions for erase that I've seen before include "Clear" , "Do away with" , "Remove all traces of" , "Eradicate" , "Blot out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
