Built from for, away, plus --, to cause: to cause something to be away. That construction makes it transitive by definition, so it always needs an object, and the intransitive twin is i, to go away of its own accord. Compare , which is to take something away with you, while merely gets rid of it and does not care where it ends up. It has become the ordinary word for delete on a computer, so is what the button says.
