Broom it

Also known as broom that, lose it.

Informal set direction meaning remove, dismiss, or abandon an object, setup, or idea.

In practice

It is a softer-sounding cousin of “lose it,” but still depends on context. A clear instruction should identify exactly what is being removed and whether it is struck, stored, or merely taken out of frame.
