stripdown

Remove all components

A stripdown is a thorough disassembly of a machine or device for inspection, cleaning, or repair: The mechanic did a complete stripdown of the engine.

The term emphasizes methodical reduction to components rather than casual taking-apart.

As an adjective, it describes versions reduced to essentials: a stripdown model without luxury features.
