Got rid of Times edition (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erased

'got rid of' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'times edition' is the wordplay.
'times' becomes 'eras' (an era is a time or period).
'edition' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'eras'+'ed'='ERASED'

(Other definitions for erased that I've seen before include "'Wiped out, deleted (6)'" , "torn off" , "Rubbed out, deleted" , "destroyed the lot" , "Red sea (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
