Rubbing out (7)

I think it could be either:

erasure

erasing

'rubbing out' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for erasure that I've seen before include "Removal" , "Rubbing out - English synthpop duo" , "clearing of tape" , "Process of rubbing out" , "Obliteration - rare use (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Irish Times.
