Remove; destroy (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

take out

I believe this is a double definition.

'remove' is the first definition.
(I know that remove can be written as take out)

'destroy' is the second definition.
(I know that take out is a more specific form of the action do away with)

(Other definitions for take out that I've seen before include "Extract; kill" , "Bump off" , "Remove from within" , "kebab, perhaps" , "Kill (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
