clean out
Remove all contents
Clean out means to remove everything from inside something, leaving it empty: I need to clean out the garage this weekend.
The phrase often implies thoroughness—not just tidying but completely emptying.
It extends to depleting resources: to clean someone out is to take all their money, whether through gambling, theft, or expense: The casino cleaned him out.
