depeopled
Made without inhabitants
Depeopled means emptied of people.
A war, plague, or famine may depeople a region; so may economic collapse or forced migration.
The word appears in historical and literary contexts: The Black Death depeopled entire villages.
It carries more weight than "depopulated," suggesting complete rather than partial emptying.
