whisks away
Swiftly carries off
To whisk away is to remove something or someone swiftly and smoothly, often with a sense of effortlessness or magic: The waiter whisked away our plates before we'd finished.
The phrase suggests quick, graceful motion—a limousine whisks away a celebrity, a fairy tale hero whisks away the princess.
It can also describe abstract removal: The breeze whisked away my worries.
