Rubs out (6)

I think it could be either:

erases

doesin

'rubs out' is the definition.
('erase' can be a synonym of 'rub out')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for erases that I've seen before include "Removes all traces" , "Obliterates" , "Rubs out, deletes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Wall Street Journal, the Evening Standard, The Star Tribune, The Times, The Irish Times and The Daily Mail.
