Cause to be empty or unoccupied (6)

I believe the answer is:

vacate

(Other definitions for vacate that I've seen before include "Withdraw as from premises" , "Depart from, leave empty" , "Move out and leave empty" , "Leave (a position)" , "Clear out and leave empty" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
