That is a sent transaction and it is being removed from the wallet and sent out to another address

That's the amount the address 1fMD... sent in that transaction. Because that address is in both the inputs an outputs that value is calculated as the total sent minus the amount received.
0.001 + 0.001 + 0.01 + 0.01 - 0.004205

Prior to the creation of that transaction, the address 1fMDuZm16nWzjzfwC6ynC99Vq4MMYtXuF had 4 previously received and unspent outputs:

• 0.001 BTC Received at 2014-01-19 10:26:18 UTC in transaction: 88b451c59459fc196e198bc3e08c4c4de38bb0d4f662b1116ccbbe561e7493b5
• 0.001 BTC Received at 2014-06-05 12:54:00 UTC in transaction: e47f7cd90ab295f61705a9bf3e69d44d588b61586cf103c5a021f324f91f1a9c
• 0.01 BTC Received at 2014-12-25 19:52:25 UTC in transaction: 1b1f09031aac45dab2a2d2d03fe28bb28d8239847ed6e603d71aa8750411b99e
• 0.01 BTC Received at 2014-12-25 20:43:12 in transaction: ab8c1faef29fd0685fdb0d5e3cb62bf949d45969b4da4d4d9ecf391eaa0693f4

This adds up to a total of 0.022 BTC in unspent outputs received at that address.

All 4 of these outputs were spent in the transaction that you posted, (along with outputs received at 4 other addresses). The sum of all outputs funding the transaction was 0.054405 BTC. That transaction sent 0.05 BTC to 15yMPzHCofjfBux9s4gYFux9mP5UL66FuG, paid a 0.0002 BTC fee, and 0.004205 BTC in "change" was sent back to address 1fMDuZm16nWzjzfwC6ynC99Vq4MMYtXuF.

0.022 BTC spent - 0.004205 BTC received in change = a net change of 0.017795 BTC spent
