You're busy removing uneven balls (4)
I believe the answer is:
orbs
'balls' is the definition.
(I know this)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orbs that I've seen before include "Poetic eyes, bros" , "Round objects" , "Ball shapes" , "Eyeballs" , "Spherical shapes" .)
