Documents revealing life gone wrong (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

file

'documents' is the definition.
(file can mean a collection of documents)

'life gone wrong' is the wordplay.
'gone wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'life' anagrammed gives 'FILE'.

'revealing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for file that I've seen before include "Smoothing tool - orderly batch of documents" , "Folder; rasp" , "Dossier; line of people" , "Tool for sawing through metal" , "Set of papers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
