Purge, definitely. I too am a digital hoarder, and I've been purging steadily as well. it's tricky, beause digital stuff takes up no "space" except of course it takes up the most important space which is mental space.
I purged almost all my physical books a few years ago, keeping only the ones that I knew woudln't be easily replaceable. THere's only one that I've had to rebuy. And that's me now not living with access to a library and having to buy everything I read online.
One notable difference is that digital stuff is easier stop noticing if you have a lot of it. Physical stuff will bust open your closet door, or, if you're my brother and have a large collection of Bourbon on your wall shelves, will collapse in the middle of the night.

it's true! which is what makes digital hoarding so stealthily dangerous...
