Gets rid of, as the oldest item in a programming cache (6)

I believe the answer is:

evicts

(Other definitions for evicts that I've seen before include "Expels from a dwelling" , "Throws out" , "Turns out" , "Forces out of a property" , "Put out for non-payment of rent" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
