[ SLANG ][ DIGITAL_WELLNESS ][ NOUN ]
A deliberate purge of unused apps, subscriptions, and digital clutter, treated as its own recognized self-care ritual the same way physical decluttering is.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Did a full digital declutter last night, deleted eleven apps I hadn't opened in months."
LORE & ORIGIN
Extends real-world decluttering/minimalism culture directly into the digital domain, once phone and subscription overload became its own recognized source of low-grade stress.
