Computer file maintenance: transaction that removes a record from a file; also called drop.

Printing: proofreader's instruction (" ") to remove a portion of copy set in type, or the printer's action in doing so.

A command used to remove unwanted characters or objects from a document or data from a storage medium. Deleted files are not actually erased, but reference to them is removed from the ‘table of contents' that tells the computer where they are, and the space they occupy is designated as available for reuse. Until they are actually overwritten by new data, however, they can often be retrieved by an application such as Norton Utilities or with an Undelete command.
