What is digital clutter and how can I get rid of it?

Digital clutter is the mass storage of unnecessary data on your laptop, smartphone, or other electronic device, such as excessive files saved to your desktop, old documents that are irrelevant, software programs and apps not used, or email inboxes filled with mail that is no longer valuable.

Not only can digital clutter cause distractions and consume your time, it increases vulnerability to personal and sensitive information.
