Removed from Red Sea, possibly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erased

'removed' is the definition.
(to erase is to remove or delete)

'red sea possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'red'+'sea'='redsea'
'redsea' anagrammed gives 'ERASED'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for erased that I've seen before include "torn off" , "Obliterated" , "removed recording" , "deleted material" , "'Wiped out, deleted (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
