unclutter
Remove the mess
To unclutter is to remove clutter from a space, making it neater and more organized: I spent the weekend uncluttering the garage.
The word extends beyond physical spaces to mental or digital realms: unclutter your inbox, unclutter your mind.
It emphasizes the process of clearing away accumulated mess rather than simply tidying.
