Upset as deer are removed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erased

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

'upset as deer' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates an anagram.
'as'+'deer'='asdeer'
'asdeer' anagrammed gives 'ERASED'.

(Other definitions for erased that I've seen before include "Removed by rubbing" , "Rubbed out, deleted" , "removed recording" , "Red sea (anag)" , "deleted material" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
