Destiny 2 Vault Cleaner: What to Keep After 9.7.0 (2026)

The live SKU /d2/vault-cleaning (opened Aug 30, 2026) is a basic inventory-declutter service: PC / PlayStation / Xbox, VPN. API info.price.value.usd: $13. That is the charge. It is not a Bungie tool and it is not a vault-capacity upgrade.

Search Console (site https://lfcarry.com/, 2026-08-02..08-29) already ranks the how-to on that shop page: cluster 337 impressions / 0 clicks. This page is the keep-vs-shard judgment those queries asked for.

Bungie Help: Update 9.7.0 launched June 9, 2026. After that date Destiny 2 has no planned live-service content updates. Monument of Triumph stays. The old reason to hoard “next season this perk comes back” is gone.

Judgment we will stand behind without inventing a slot cap:

• Exotics you still fire — including catalysts (see exotic catalysts)
• Crafted weapons with a pattern you still level
• Armor 3.0 you actually wear (Coda, raid, current PvP). Dreambane / Moon transmog can wait — Dreambane is a collect, not a loadout
• One PvP roll and one PvE roll on a weapon you still queue — not five “maybe” barrels

Safe to shard without a number from us:

• Sunset-era duplicates you kept for a season that will not arrive
• Armor 2.0 you replaced and have not equipped in months
• Random legendary copies whose perk columns you already have on a crafted or newer drop

Official Bungie vault-capacity figure (the number people still quote as 500 / 600) = missing-evidence on the Help articles we opened Aug 30. We do not print 600. If your vault is “full,” that is a Director fact on your account — ask Emily what to cut first.

Machine-readable routing (D267-G), opened Aug 30, 2026:

Official vault slot cap = missing-evidence. Not invented.
