If you FINALLY started making a dent in some spring cleaning, I’ve got some bad news for you:  People are trying to ADD MORE.

A new report is trying to make DIGITAL spring cleaning a thing, which is just as horrible as it sounds:  Deleting old emails . . . clearing unused files that are taking up space and slowing things down . . . and dealing with data build-up.

In a new survey, 95% of people say they TRY to delete unnecessary files to keep their devices functioning.  But only 10% feel confident doing it.  And 33% feel overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed by it.

Cleaning up your devices is even LESS popular than chores around the house.  Here are some stats:

1.  59% of people would rather wash dishes than face their digital files.

2.  23% would rather get their annual physical, and 21% would rather go to the dentist than deal with their digital clutter.  

3.  17% would rather “eat liver and onions” than delete old emails.

4.  The average American says they delete unneeded, stored photos about as often as they clean out the junk drawer . . . once or twice per year.

5.  And of course there are two big forces working against us:  Fear of deleting something we might want later . . . and procrastination.

6.  The two biggest MOTIVATORS for getting rid of digital junk may be:  Being forced to buy more storage space in a cloud, and something draining your battery life.
