edit out
Cut from text
To edit out is to remove something during the editing process—cutting material from a film, recording, photograph, or text.
Unwanted content gets edited out: They edited out the profanity for the TV broadcast, Her ex-husband was edited out of all the family photos.
The phrase emphasizes deletion rather than revision.
