zeroed
Set to nothing
Zeroed is the past tense of zero, meaning to set or adjust something to zero.
You zero a scale before weighing, or zero in a rifle scope to align it precisely.
To zero in on something is to focus attention sharply: Investigators zeroed in on the suspect's alibi.
An account that's been zeroed has been emptied or wiped out.
