Removed permit within deed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deleted

'removed' is the definition.
(deleting is a kind of removing)

'permit within deed' is the wordplay.
'permit' becomes 'let' (synonyms).
'within' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'let' put into 'deed' is 'DELETED'.

(Other definitions for deleted that I've seen before include "Effaced" , "Removed" , "Expunged" , "Struck out" , "Erased" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
