From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   GFR /G-F-R/ vt.   [ITS: from `Grim File Reaper', an ITS and LISP
   Machine utility] To remove a file or files according to some
   program-automated or semi-automatic manual procedure, especially one
   designed to reclaim mass storage space or reduce name-space clutter
   (the original GFR actually moved files to tape).   Often generalized
   to pieces of data below file level.   "I used to have his phone
   number, but I guess I {GFR}ed it."   See also {prowler}, {reaper}.
   Compare {GC}, which discards only provably worthless stuff.
