HOARDING DISORDER is a type of OCD where a person finds it difficult to throw away old useless items leading to congestion in the house.
DIGITAL HOARDING is a type of hoarding disorder we are seeing recently, where people store data, like screenshots, links, videos, pictures and whatnot. They are unable to get rid of it because they think that the data can be useful sometime in the future, however improbable that may be. This leads to unnecessary clogging of device memory and cybersecurity risks.
Treatment is similar to OCD with medicines and psychotherapy (CBT with ERP).
