unclogged

No longer blocked

Unclogged means cleared of a blockage or obstruction.

A drain that was stopped up is now unclogged and flowing freely: The plumber unclogged the sink.

The word works both literally for pipes and passages and figuratively for anything that was stuck or impeded: After the restructuring, communication channels were finally unclogged.
