decompressed
No longer compressed
Decompressed describes something that has been released from pressure or compression.
Data files are decompressed when restored to their original size after being compressed for storage or transfer: Wait for the files to be decompressed before opening them.
Physically, a diver who has decompressed has undergone gradual pressure reduction to prevent the bends.
Informally, someone who has decompressed has unwound after stress: I decompressed with a long bath after the interview.
