We often ignore digital clutter, but just like a messy home, it can affect our productivity and device performance. Files pile up, apps go unused, and emails flood our inboxes, all of which lead to slow, inefficient devices.

Digital clutter includes things like excessive files, old apps, and outdated emails. Not only does this clutter slow down our devices, but it also contributes to feelings of stress and disorganization. Regular digital decluttering can clear up space and restore device speed.

Start by moving important files to cloud storage or external drives, then delete the excess. Use tools like “Clear Browsing Data” and delete old apps to further free up space. Keep your software and apps updated to avoid security risks and improve performance.
