unloaded

Discharged the contents

Unloaded describes something that has had its load or contents removed.

A gun that is unloaded has no ammunition in it—a critical safety distinction.

A truck or ship that has been unloaded has had its cargo taken off.

In a figurative sense, if someone has unloaded their problems or feelings, they've unburdened themselves by sharing: She unloaded all her frustrations on me.

To unload stock or property is to sell it off, often hastily or at a loss.
