Removing contents of new Audi with long name (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unloading

'removing contents' is the definition.
(unloading something's contents)

'new audi with long name' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'audi'+'long'+'n'='audilongn'
'audilongn' anagrammed gives 'UNLOADING'.

'of' is the link.

(Another definition for unloading that I've seen is " Removing bullets".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
