Deleted, rubbed out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erased

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'deleted' is the first definition.
(erasing is a kind of deleting)

'rubbed out' is the second definition.
('erase' can be a synonym of 'rub out')

(Other definitions for erased that I've seen before include "destroyed the lot" , "deleted material" , "Rubbed out, expunged" , "Rubbed out, deleted" , "'Wiped out, deleted (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
