declutter 

To eliminate extraneous things or information, as in "It's time to declutter your life." This can apply to cleaning up a room or location, but can also apply to cleaning up computer files or removing unnecessary information from your brain or even a specific discussion. It is often used in a loose way to refer to eliminating unnecessary stressors from your life/situation, like someone talking about decluttering their life by breaking up with a significant other. It can also be spelled with a hyphen: de-clutter (decluttered, decluttering).
We need to declutter our basement before we buy anything else.
We are decluttering our basement.
I really need to break up with Joey and declutter my life.
It's time to declutter your hard drive.

Emotional decluttering 

The process of ritual cleansing that we go through to clear our minds and start anew after a big life event.
Jack: hey, do you want to go out this weekend?
Sally: I cant, I'm staying home. I have a lot of emotional decluttering to do.

deloittering 

1. To remain in an area for no obvious reason
2. To stand idly about; linger aimlessly <usually at exorbitant costs to the establishment owner>
At first the project was going full-steam ahead, but after the scope changes I felt our consultants were just deloittering around.

deloitter 

to hang around aimlessly; stand around or move without apparent purpose <usually with large costs associated with establishment owner>
The project was going really well until the scope changes; after that the consultants were doing nothing but deloittering around.

I just finished my presentation today so I'm going to deloitter the afternoon away.
