unselects

Unselects is the action of removing a selection, typically in computing contexts.
When you click on a highlighted item to deselect it, you unselect it: She unselects the checkbox to opt out of marketing emails.
The word mirrors the pattern of undo, uncheck, and similar reversals of digital actions.
