Deletion

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'deletion' is the definition.
(erasure is a kind of deletion)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for erasure that I've seen before include "Process of rubbing out" , "Band with Andy Bell and Vince Clarke, or wipe-out" , "Obliteration of data" , "group from the 80s" , "Removal" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The New York Times and the Evening Standard.
