Gets rid of some undesirable characters? (7)
I believe the answer is:
deletes
This clue could be a double definition.
'gets rid of' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'some undesirable characters?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for deletes that I've seen before include "Erases" , "Crosses out" .)
