vacating
Emptying a space
Vacating is leaving a place or position, making it empty and available: We're vacating the apartment at the end of the month.
Courts vacate judgments when they nullify them, as if clearing the decision from the record.
The word implies formal or complete departure rather than stepping out briefly.
